Spoilt for choice
Article Abstract:
The private equity market in continental Europe is developing more slowly than the UK market. Private equity companies, in the UK, should use their expertise to help the European market move forward, and take to advantage of the high quality of management and number of assets available in the region. Many European company owners have a strong sense of responsibility to their workers and are not prepared to sell their businesses. European managers often fear becoming involved in investing in their companies and putting their own funds and livelihood at risk.

Thirteen years of buyouts: lucky for some!
Article Abstract:
Most management buyout deals undertaken in the UK in the early 1980s were relatively small. The buyout process was short compared with current practices, and little attention was given to due diligence. The buyout industry started to boom in the mid-1980s, with 350 buyouts being undertaken in 1987, from 200 in 1984. The buyout process has now become much lengthier and more complicated, partly reflecting higher levels of professionalism among practitioners.
