Investment Areas

MBO & Acquisition

Corinth invests in established businesses through management buyouts, acquisitions and succession transactions.

When Ownership Is Changing

Many successful businesses reach a point where ownership must evolve. A founder may be preparing for succession, shareholders may seek an orderly exit, or a management team may be ready to take responsibility for the next phase of growth.

These situations often involve strong operating businesses, established teams and a clear commercial rationale, but the transaction itself requires a clear funding plan, agreed responsibilities and a realistic route to completion.

This investment area is intended for ownership transitions involving a credible management team, acquisition vehicle or buyer with a long-term plan.

Why Structure Matters

A management buyout or acquisition transaction often requires more than capital alone. Sellers, buyers, management, lenders, insurers, advisers and other parties involved need to understand their respective roles.

Particular attention is given to the likelihood of completion, the quality of any security, the state of the documentation, business continuity and the company's ability to sustain the proposed transaction over time.
