Jason Quaife – Why our Management Buy Out (MBO) took 3 years

Build and Exit

Management Buy Outs (MBOs) can be full of challenges when buying a business. You need to be able to convince the owners it’s the right move for them, as well as ensure you have the right skills to make it work. In this episode Jason gives insights into how to manage the risks of Management Buy Outs and make it successful.

Jason Quaife went from working in a company to leading a management buy-out (MBO) of the business with a multi-million-pound equity investment along with an asset-based lending facility.
