An established Nuneaton-based construction company has successfully completed a Management Buy-Out (MBO) with support from a six-figure Asset Finance facility secured through Navigate Commercial Finance.
The business provides a wide range of specialist services, from sealing and crack repair to full building renovations and floor coverings. As the Managing Director and majority shareholder prepared for retirement, the Operations Director — a minority shareholder with years of hands-on experience — seized the opportunity to acquire full ownership and drive the company’s next phase of development.
The company owned a substantial fleet of vehicles, many unencumbered or carrying significant equity. Asset Finance was the most suitable solution, delivering competitive interest rates and lower monthly repayments than unsecured alternatives.
We identified a lender comfortable with the MBO structure who moved quickly on the available assets. The facility successfully covered the day-one consideration while also releasing surplus funds to support working capital and future operations.
This strategic use of existing assets has enabled a smooth leadership transition and positioned the business strongly for continued success under its new owner.
A well-structured deal that demonstrates the value of tailored Asset Finance for management teams ready to take ownership of established, profitable businesses.
