GCP is a packaging printer, producing packaging for food manufacturers and other clients. Having previously supported the family owners on an acquisition of a competitor, we were instructed to advise the MBO candidate on the MBO of the business as part of the shareholders exit and retirement plans.
We provided a full service offering to our client, which included:
– initially assessing and negotiating the value of the business,
– assessing the funding requirements for the acquisition and working capital requirements,
– sourcing and negotiating funding offers from a range of sources,
– advising on all elements of negotiations and assessment of key financial elements of the deal,
– assistance during the Due Diligence process,
– supporting with negotiations of the legal documents,
– assistance with the completion accounts preparation and negotiation, and
– ensuring a successful outcome for our client.
We have been retained by the client to provide strategic advice, and over a 2 year period the business has grown by 50%.
