Management Buyouts (MBOs) and Management Buy-Ins (MBIs) are strategic transactions that allow for the transfer of ownership and management control of a company. These processes provide opportunities for existing management teams or external individuals to acquire and lead businesses, driving growth and value creation.

In a Management Buyout (MBO), the existing management team of a company, often in partnership with external investors, purchases the business from its current owners. The management team takes on a significant equity stake and assumes full or partial ownership, allowing them to align their interests with the long-term success of the company. MBOs are often favored by managers who have a deep understanding of the business and a clear vision for its future.

On the other hand, a Management Buy-In (MBI) occurs when external individuals or a new management team acquires a controlling interest in a company. MBIs are typically pursued when an external party recognizes the potential of a business and brings in their expertise, fresh perspectives, and additional resources to drive growth and turnaround strategies.
