Leveraged buy out (LBO) financing is typically for:

• Management buyouts
• Acquisitions
• Divestitures
• Valuations
• Refinancings

Strategic purchase of other product lines, divisions, or companies.

Be prepared to:

• Raise and negotiate terms of senior, subordinated, and equity financing
• Organize business plans
• Hire needed management personnel where applicable
• Structure new employee benefit plans
• Negotiate long-term supply and use agreements

Take note:

Equity-based methods of financing are outweighing debt-based. Remember, equity does not entitle equity providers to any claim to a company’s assets or require a company to make scheduled payments.
