Thinking about acquiring a business? Buying an existing business (if the business is strong, it is sometimes known as a “going concern”) is less risky than starting with nothing. When you acquire a business, you take over an operation that's already generating revenue with an established customer base, reputation and employees who are familiar with all angles of the business so that you don't have to reinvent the wheel by setting up new procedures, systems and policies—all the tools are right there! Furthermore, buying a business may give you valuable legal rights, such as patents or copyrights, which can prove very profitable.

As for financing, it's easier to obtain the funds to buy an existing business than to start a new one, because bankers and investors generally feel more comfortable dealing with a business that already has a proven track record. Not sure how to finance the business acquisition? A Leveraged Buy Out (an “LBO”) is an exciting strategy involving an acquirer’s acquisition of a business using a significant amount of borrowed money (bonds or loans) to meet the cost of acquisition, similar to the way a person might purchase a house using their own funds for the down payment and funding the remainder of the purchase price through outside lenders. Generally, the assets of the business being acquired are used as collateral for the loans to buy the business.

The advantages of LBOs are:

• Only a fraction of the total purchase price initially has to be paid by the acquiring corporation,
• Interest payments on debt are tax-deductible and
• Debt may force the acquired corporation to shed unproductive operations and engage in cost-cutting.

LBOs are smart way to allow acquirers to make large acquisitions without having to commit a lot of capital, and at times it may be possible for the acquirer to obtain its portion of the purchase price through mezzanine financing. With mezzanine financing, lenders can provide funds quickly, but the debt can be converted to equity if payment of the corporation’s debt is not timely.

The remainder of the loan capital in the LBO is borrowed through a combination of bank credit facilities and/or debentures. A debenture is long-term debt instrument where the debenture holder will get a fixed return (fixed on the basis of interest rates) and the principal amount whenever the debenture matures. The debt will appear on the acquired business' balance sheet and the acquired business’ free cash flow will be used to repay the debt.

The Leveraged Buy Out Collection allows you flexibility in structuring the Leveraged Buy Out transactions and includes:

• A long term loan and debenture purchase agreement to provide working capital;
• A security agreement to allow greater lender confidence through collateralization of the debtor corporation’s assets;
• A senior subordinated note indenture for additional financing;
• An asset purchase agreement for sales of the acquired corporation’s inventory, accounts receivable, intellectual property and other assets; and
• A stock purchase agreement for the sale of shares of the acquirer.

While many clients may not yet be ready for an LBO or know the particulars of the transaction, the Leveraged Buy Out Collection is provided to clients with the view in mind of understanding how LBOs are structured to help your business for a potential money-infusing transaction.
