What is Management buyout (MBO)?

The purchase of a company or business unit by its existing managers, usually with support from a financial investor and debt financing.

It arises in family business succession or when groups divest non-core units. As managers are both buyers and insiders, an independent assessment is important for valuation and conflicts of interest.
