Leveraged Buy–Out

WCP allows financial sponsors to take advantage of the global debt markets to raise funds to purchase a target company or part of its business with limited capital. The future cash flow of the acquired assets can be used to secure the debt. It may use a mixture of multiple ranked debt including senior debt, mezzanine debt and junior debt.

WCP can be applied to other types of financing such as a management buy–out (MBO) and can occur in growth situations, restructuring situations and insolvencies. We lead this market in terms of transaction volume. 

Management Buy–Out

MBO allows the management team of a company to acquire all or part of the shares in the company through a new company established for that purpose.
