    A management buy-in (MBI) occurs when an outside management team purchases a controlling stake in a company and replaces its existing management. In an MBI, the new managers are not previously employed by the target company. The target company is often underperforming and the outside managers believe they can improve operations and profits. The buying managers conduct extensive analysis of the target company before making an offer. If negotiations are successful, the transaction is completed and the new managers take control of the board of directors. An MBI can benefit both the buying and selling parties if the new managers have the skills and experience to increase the company's value.

    Management Buy-In (MBI)

    By WILL KENTON
     
    What Is a Management Buy-In (MBI)?
    A management buy-in (MBI) is a corporate action in which an outside manager or
    management team purchases a controlling ownership stake in an outside
    company and replaces its existing management team. This type of action can
    occur when a company appears to be undervalued, poorly managed, or
    requires succession.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS:

     A management buy-in (MBI) occurs when an outside manager or


    management team purchases a controlling ownership stake in an outside
    company and replaces its existing management team.
     A company that experiences an MBI is often undervalued and experiencing
    difficulties in some area.
     The buyer must be careful to accurately value the target so that they do not
    pay more than is necessary.

    Understanding Management Buy-In (MBI)


    Management buy-in is also used in a non-financial sense to refer to situations
    where the support of management is sought for an idea or project. When
    management "buys in," they have thrown their support behind an idea, which
    would typically indicate financial resources will be allocated so that the venture
    can move forward.

    A management buy-in differs from a management buyout (MBO). With an MBO,


    the target company's existing management purchases the company. MBOs
    typically require financial resources beyond those of management, such as a
    bank debt or bonds. If a significant amount of debt financing is required, the deal
    is described as a leveraged buyout (LBO).

    Management buy-in (MBI) is a corporate activity. In management buy-in, a


    company is purchased by a manager or a management team from outside the
    company. The target company is acquired by outside investors when the
    company's decision-makers consider it to be underperforming, and the
    company’s products could generate greater than current yields with the proposed
    change in current business strategy and/or management. After the acquisition,
    the buyer can replace the current board of directors of the company with their
    representatives. In many cases, there is competition among buyers to purchase
    a suitable business. Generally, these management teams are led by experienced
    managers at the managing director level. The difference between management
    buy-in and management buy-out is the position of the buyer. In the case of a
    management buy-in, the buyers are external to the target company. In the case
    of a management buy-out, the buyers working for the target company.

    Management buy-in is an acquisition tactic that follows a process.

    Company Analysis
    First, the buyer conducts a market analysis on the target to gather data on its
    buyers, sellers, competitors, suppliers, substitutes, products and services,
    customers, the scope of business and the financials. The buyer must also know
    what other companies are looking to buy the target because this will affect the
    price.

    The Negotiations
    Based on the analysis, the buyer prepares an offer for the target company’s
    owners. Both parties will negotiate the price and may reach an agreement.

    The Transaction
    If agreement on the price and terms are reached, the transaction will ocur based
    on the local rules and regulations. Once the transaction is complete, the buyer
    officially becomes the owner of the company’s management and can nominate
    their representatives as the board of directors.

    Possible Advantages of Management Buy-Ins (MBIs)


    In many cases, companies that undego an MBI are undervalued, and the buyer
    can sell the company at a higher price in the future. Also, if the current owners of
    a company are unable to manage the company, an MBI is a win-win situation for
    both the buyer and the seller. A new management team might have better
    knowledge, contacts, and experience, which can often stimulate growth in a
    company maximizing the shareholders' wealth. Lastly, current employees may
    become motivated because of management changes.

    Possible Disadvantages of MBIs


    There is always the possibility that an MBI will not have the desired affect and the
    new management team may fail to bring the required growth to the company.
    Existing employees may feel demotivated by the changes. Also, the buyer may
    end up paying way more than required if they estimate the value of the company
    incorrectly.
