Management Buy-In (MBI) & Management Buy-Out (MBO) for SMEs
Management buy-in (MBI) and management buy-out (MBO) are two of the most effective ways to organize company succession or strategic realignment in the SME sector. Abacus alpha accompanies entrepreneurs and managers on this path and provides capital, expertise and strategic support as an impact investor.
How Abacus alpha supports you
Whether MBI or MBO – Abacus alpha is at your side as an impact investor and supports you in finding the optimal path for your company succession. We attach particular importance to the values of decency, innovation and professionalism, which form the foundation for a trusting cooperation at eye level. Our aim is to provide companies with long-term and sustainable support so that social and ecological responsibility is taken into account alongside financial goals.
Management buy-in (MBI)
A management buy-in (MBI) makes it possible to take over and manage an established company without having to take on the risks and uncertainties of a start-up. Instead of starting from scratch, you benefit from existing structures, can stabilize and optimize the company and steer it into a successful future with your innovative ideas. Find out below why an MBI is the ideal opportunity for budding entrepreneurs
You take over a functioning company with established customer relationships, well-coordinated employees and proven processes. This allows you to concentrate fully on further development and to develop within a stable structure without having to start from scratch.
Many companies are looking for an experienced successor. Here you can contribute your expertise to stabilize and restructure these companies and lead them into a new phase of growth. It’s not just about preservation, but about sustainable improvement.
As an external manager, you bring valuable new impetus to the organization. Your unbiased perspective and previous experience will enable you to promote innovation and strategically realign the company.
We not only support you financially, but also guide you through the entire process – from transaction structuring to financing. In addition, we offer access to an extensive network of experts and partners who will support you at every stage.
An MBI gives you the opportunity to take over an existing company, realign it and grow it – without the risk and uncertainty of starting a new business. If you are an experienced manager and would like to take the plunge into self-employment, an MBI is the ideal option.
Management buy-out (MBO)
A management buy-out (MBO) offers employees at various management levels an excellent opportunity to take the next step in their career. You do not have to be in the current management team – even as a member of the second management level or as a key employee, you can take advantage of the opportunity to take over the company and actively develop it further.
Whether in the second management level or as a central specialist – an MBO enables you to take over the management of the company and implement your own vision.
You know the company, its processes and its employees well. This familiarity makes the transition to the management role easier and helps you to make the best possible use of existing potential.
Thanks to your existing relationship of trust with the owner and your comprehensive understanding of the corporate culture, the transition is often smooth, which facilitates both the takeover and subsequent success.
Your in-depth understanding of the company, the market and the internal processes minimizes the risk of the takeover. This enables you to manage business development in a targeted and well-founded manner. We not only provide you with financial resources, but also accompany you through the entire process and offer access to our network as well as strategic support.
