Stationery Distributor – MBO

Kingswood was engaged by a stationery distribution business in which our client was a minority shareholder.

Overview

We successfully negotiated the acquisition of a majority shareholding, negotiating on a deferred basis of the existing shareholder and director loans.

Kingswood identified and structured the requirements for equity and debt finance and, as part of the successful completion of the transaction, were instrumental in assisting the ongoing management team in pulling together financial projections and a business plan to help take the business forward post-transaction.

We also advised on aspects of the sale and purchase agreement, and the format and extend of due diligence required.

As with many of the transactions that we are involved with, Kingswood also offered the client additional support through the coordination and management of the sourcing of legal advice, and generally supported the client throughout the transaction process.
