Have you ever heard of LBOs? 🤔

An LBO, or leverage buyout, is when a financial sponsor acquires a company with a large portion of debt, typically 60-70% of the capital structure, but it can be even up to 80% in a frothy debt market. The remaining 30-40% is provided by the financial sponsor. 💸💰

But why would someone do an LBO? The goal is to deliver a 20% IRR typically over a five to seven year holding period. This can be achieved through a sale to a strategic or financial sponsor or an IPO. 📈💼
