Floating back to the top

Article Abstract:

Along with a strong stockmarket, the buyout market is buoyant although venture capital companies are very wary about paying inflated prices and are ensuring that full company information has been disclosed prior to investment. A venture capital company may prefer to introduce its own representatives into a management team before agreeing to a deal. Several managers of companies which have been floated have become millionaires, and if the company is then sold again, their personal investment may be worth even more.

The right stuff

Article Abstract:

Many entrepreneurs have survived and prospered despite the recession and a list determining the top 20 self-made entrepreneurs shows that not all were highly educated in their youth. Most started in the 60s and 70s at an average age of 28 and only two out of the 20 are in manufacturing. Most are in property, retailing, computers, financial services and media sectors and most believe that staff motivation is a factor crucial to success.

Less fizz, more bottle: last year, management buy-outs made over 100 managers into millionaires. This year, the number has more than halved

Article Abstract:

A management buy out study shows that 23 companies were floated on the stock market between July 1994 and June 1995, originating from management buy-outs/buy-ins (MBO/MBI). This is down on 1994 figures and wealth creation has also slowed down accordingly. However many companies coming to the market over the past 12 months are better managed with more attractive pricing.
