Course Overview

What is ‘LBO’? Leveraged Buyout (LBO) is a financial transaction wherein a company is acquired using equity and debt. An ‘LBO Model’ is an Excel-based model used to evaluate LBO transactions. Assets of both companies (the acquired and acquiring) act as loan collaterals.

In most cases, the acquiring company prefers to invest the least amount of equity and fund the rest with debt and non-equity sources. The LBO model primarily aims to enable investors to accurately and thoroughly assess transactions and earn the highest possible risk-adjusted internal rate of return (IRR). The investment decision is with the main aim of making most returns on its equity and using debt to increase potential returns.

This Zoe training course will empower you with detailed information about an LBO model. Since this is a critical model that could define a company’s success or failure in terms of its financial assets and returns, knowledge and experience of all aspects of LBO, including loan structuring, pricing and leveraged acquisition finance, will reduce risks of financial loss to either party. Through this course, you will acquire the skills and capabilities to assist organisations in making the most of the LBO model.
