Buying Out a Business Partner or Shareholder: Structuring and Financing the Deal
When an entrepreneur starts a new business, planning for a buyout of a business partner years in the future is rarely a top priority- but maybe it should be.
As businesses grow and evolve, so too do ownership or shareholder groups. The same partners or investors who took a company from startup to $20 million in revenues aren't necessarily the right people to grow the company from $20 to $50 million, or $50 to $150 million, and so on.
Layer in retirements, partnership disputes and absentee or non-strategic owners receiving generous compensation, and making changes in ownership becomes increasingly more important (and costly) as the business grows.
On the next few pages, we'll discuss:
1. When a Partner Buyout is a Solution
2. Valuing the Business
3. Structuring a Partner Buyout
4. Financing a Partner Buyout
5. Questions a Business Owner Should Ask When Raising Capital
6. Using an Investment Banker to Raise Capital for the Buyout

Using an Investment Banker to Raise Capital How Investment Bankers Charge for Their Services •  Investment bankers focused on raising capital usually work on a contingency basis, charging a percentage of the capital raised, although small retainers may also be charged. •  The contingent fee or "success" fee is usually paid at closing and funded out of the proceeds of the new capital raise. •  This fee structure aligns everyone's interest, so the company is only paying the fee upon a successful capital raise.
