Fool's gold
Article Abstract:
A boutique bank is classified as focusing on a niche market in an independent advisory capacity, usually with a staff of less than 40 people. The amount of finance can range from up to 500 million pounds sterling to 20 million pounds sterling. Average company annual turnover is usually up to 300,000 pounds sterling per annum, although some can earn up to 2 million pounds sterling. Both advisory capacity and exit markets are the two main boutique types, with the right choice of staff being an important factor in the success of a new firm.

Demand for the MBI at an all-time high
Article Abstract:
There are many small and medium-sized businesses that are attractive potential targets for management buyins in the area around Southampton, England. However, demand is still much greater than supply. The local market remains relatively unsophisticated, and this means that most deals are still not subject to auction processes. Some investors are now focusing on start-ups and early stage investments, an approach which can offer a much higher return as long as the right management team is in place.

Keeping everyone happy with the VIMBO
Article Abstract:
The introduction of the vendor-initiated management buyout is seen as a strategy for the vendor to use to avoid disclosure of company information to possible business competitors. It can also help to reduce any antagonism during buyout discussions between the management and those providing funds for investment. Financial experts can co-ordinate the whole buyout process making sure that conditions are satisfactory for the management team as well as helping to negotiate a price.
