Sponsoring Management buyouts

TA Associates actively supports management and minority shareholders in their efforts to buy a company or division from its owner/parent. TA has sponsored management buyouts(MBOs) in a variety of industries including technology, financial services, and healthcare. We focus on MBOs where growth is the driver of investment returns rather than leverage. Modest leverage is used to make a transaction possible and enhance returns for management and investors.

To management, we offer:

  • A partner that works with a minority investor attitude, regardless of our actual ownership
  • A board level advisor providing a broad range of assistance and support in areas including strategy, recruiting additional senior management, establishing strategic partnerships, accessing capital markets and executing acquisitions

To the selling shareholders or parent company, we offer:

  • A sophisticated buyer with 40 years of investment experience and over 380 investments
  • A high certainty of close through deep industry knowledge, an expedited diligence process, strong relationships with lending sources and a captive source of subordinated debt
  • Close relationships with top tier commercial and investment banks that are key sources for acquisition debt capital.

Examples of such investments include:

Allegis Realty Investors LLC
CompBenefits Corporation
 
Keystone Group, Inc.
