Artisan Capital helps business owners, management teams, and minority shareholders execute leveraged and management buyouts that allow the purchaser to realize control of the business while allowing them to create significant value.

Management Buyouts

Many times in business, one owner wants to buyout another owner, or one business partner wants to move in a different direction from the other business partner. 

An owner may be investigating exit strategies, or is ready to sell their business interests to employees, family, or an outside company.

Buyout Services and Artisan Capital

Artisan Capital works with management teams and owners to evaluate a company’s business and potential for a leveraged buyout.  If it is believed that the future of the business provides a strong potential for success, Artisan Capital consults with executives and management to draft a letter of intent (proposal) to purchase the Company from the owner. 

Often one of the biggest road blocks to executing a successful buyout is the owner’s belief whether management is a qualified buyer, or if the financing is achievable.  To gain the confidence of management and the owner, Artisan Capital works with the company to pre-qualify the buyout with multiple potential lenders/investors prior to submitting a final proposal to the owners so that both owner and buyer can feel confident a deal can get done.   Artisan Capital can also help management and owner identify an independent valuation firm to justify the purchase price both for the potential buyer and seller.

Artisan can help.

Artisan Capital has deep experience in completing management buyouts and in assisting management gaining ownership control of their business.

The ability to understand the internal dynamics, financing needs and emotional issues in a management buyout is a key part to our success. 

We excel at unifying and clarifying the parties. In addition, we have worked closely with a diverse array of private equity firms on both the buy- and sell-side, and we maintain solid, trusted relationships with various potential debt and equity sources.
 
Most importantly, we have consistently demonstrated our ability to close complex small to mid-sized transactions and financings.
