(CASE STUDY) An alternative deal structure to buy a £/$ M company without using a bank + get a higher valuation for seller

As promised last week this video walks through an example and compares what an LBO would look like versus this model.

This structure works very well when you have a business owner that wants a higher valuation. In an LBO you can only offer what the balance sheet & cash flow will support, but in this structure because its more flexible you can pay a higher price, and generally is a way for a seller to get 50% more for their company on exit than in an LBO.
