Albion launches MBO School for management teams
Albion Ventures, accountancy firm Smith & Williamson and law firm Bird & Bird have launched an MBO School to train management teams how to execute a successful management buyout.
Led by Albion partner David Gudgin and entrepreneur Mark Evans, with the support of Smith & Williamson corporate finance partner Brian Livingstone and Bird & Bird corporate partner Geraint Lloyd, the school will hold its maiden two-day workshop in October.
The MBO School will instruct on valuation, deal structures, appointing advisers, pitching, legal issues, financing and tax and negotiation strategy. The school will guarantee confidentiality and hold its workshops at weekends so that third parties, colleagues or employers do not catch wind of future plans for the business.
Albion specialises in VCTs and has around £230m under management. The firm looks to invest £1-10m in companies across a range of sectors.
