Do you and your management team want to participate in the value you are creating? Can you see opportunities for your business that are not a priority for the current owners? If so, this may be the moment to consider a Management Buyout (MBO) of your company or division. STAR can help deliver - and finance - this for you and your team.

We can also support CEOs and management teams with proven track records who would like to acquire a business (MBI) in a sector where they can add substantial value. We will work with your team to develop your ideas for acquisition opportunities - or we can introduce you to opportunities we are developing. Either way, STAR can provide considerable support to help you achieve your ambitions and goals.

In either an MBO or MBI situation, STAR can add substantial value thanks to our:

• Expertise and experience: You get the backing and expertise of an entrepreneurial team with many years of experience in successful private equity investing and structured transactions.
• Access to substantial capital: STAR and its co-investment partners have substantial capital with which to support the growth and ambition of our portfolio companies.
• Value-added support: STAR is not simply a passive investor. Although we do not seek to manage the day-to-day operations of our portfolio companies, we can provide strategic advice, including financial expertise and structuring, introducing and analysing new opportunities, and raising the company's profile with the investment community.
• Access to:
• Our Senior Advisors: a high-calibre pool of individuals with relevant experience and excellent contacts.
• Our network of contacts, including our core banking partners.
