Management Buy-In

First Flight Placements team now has over six decades of experience in mergers and acquisitions. As such, we are able to advise and structure Management Buy-In (MBI) &/or Buy-In/Management-Buy-Out (BIMBO) projects efficiently and effectively offering a full Corporate Finance lead advisory service to buy-side candidates.

  • We specialise in transactions valued in the £1m-£6m range and put acquisition teams together sometimes also with a Chairman &/or Non Exec.
  • First Flight currently has a large number of candidates looking to acquire companies & we have recently increased our team capable of handling MBI/BIMBO transactions on their behalf.
  • Our objective is to find good business opportunities that are profitable, cash-generative & realistically priced. Ideally one or two existing members of the company’s Management team participate to make it a BIMBO project which is preferred by debt funders.
  • We have recently completed 4 MBI/BIMBO transactions with a total value of £12 million.

Welcome to First Flight

We have one of the largest Non-Exec databases in the UK, supported by discreet executive search and focused advertising which allows us to identify the most appropriate candidates who can really add value to a company's Board and we turn around projects rapidly. We have successfully completed over 125 Non-Exec projects to date.

First Flight sponsorsed the Non-Exec Award at the Quoted Company Awards 2010 and 2011.
