[58]
a private equity firm they acquire a company or a part of company by
[62]
investing a small amount of equity and majority using the leverage to finance
[68]
an LBO a private equity firm primarily uses you know what we call as borrowed
[73]
fund borrowed money to meet the cost of the acquisition this kind of P form the
[77]

[82]

[89]
of sign LBO financing is tough job even if on the surface it looks easy private
[94]
equity firm funds needs to go an extra mile to finance LBO transaction so in
[100]
this tutorial have a look at various options the private equity firms have
[103]
for such LBO financing the top 6 strategies well your financing you know
[107]
when a private equity invest in lbo it needs to put in a lot of borring money
[112]
let's have a look you know at how private equity firms the finance the LBO
[116]
okay the first and the foremost way they do is seller financing now what is this
[122]
see the LBO financing strategy is often seen when the seller is pretty much
[127]
interested in making the sale so that's why the seller can be convicted to
[131]
extend a loan which can be amortized over the years so seller financing is
[137]
also very helpful for the buyer gets the comfort of paying of the debts when the
[144]
enough money of the flow into the business second is called the
[147]
equipment financing see this is another form of LBO financing which has been
[154]
used by the buyer now if the company owned any equipment which are free there
[159]
is no way this equipment will be used in future so the part of the purchase price
[162]
can be the equipment moreover if the equipment has equity that has that can
[167]
be financed to I mean that's gonna be part of a tourist by the own funds and
[172]
this kind of help you financing the private equity invest closely 30 to 40%
[176]
50% closely of money in equity meaning its own money and the
[181]
rest of the money has been borrowed meaning our form of a debt so now the
[186]
positive defers from the basis of deal and also to the market conditions at the
[190]
given point of time so however almost every LBO falls in the range between 30
[194]
to 50% or 40% primarily borrowed debt from the separate our
[198]
lenders and it usually is between 50 to
[204]
70% the next over here is called the senior debt
[212]
so what is that see if a private equity firm you take senior debt you need to
[217]
rank it first okay because before anything all debt and
[222]
equity you need to be repaid the terms and condition of this kind of debt are
[225]
also very strict so to take the debt you need to show forth specific financial
[229]
ratios other to the standard the lender mentions and the debt is also secured
[235]
against the specific assets of the company so if the company is in able to
[238]
pay off its debt the lender will acquire these assets at this that is very much
[244]
secured and the rate of for what we call as interest for this debt is quite low
[249]
as the private equity firms you can take this sort of debt 4 to 9 years and
[254]
period and can pay off the debt at the end of this single payment fifth is
[259]
called the subordinated debt now they'll LBO financing using the subordinated
[268]
debt stands exactly below the senior debt and you can take this or that for a
[272]
period of 7 to 10 years and you need to repay the whole amount in one go
[278]
at the end of the period so this day comes next to senior debt because in
[281]
terms of the liquidation okay and this that gets preference after the senior
[289]
debt so the only pitfall of this debts is that the subordinate it has the high
[294]
interest rate and as this debt is not secured as the senior debt the risk is
[300]
usually very higher of for the lender and that's why they charge for the
[304]
higher lending cost than the senior debt the sixth is called the mezzanine debt
[313]
now this LBO financing through the debt has the most risk for the lenders and
[317]
that's why it costs a lot more than the other types of debt so this that stands
[322]
after the senior and unsecured debt repayment method is bit different than
[326]
the other debts here how it works it let's say if you take a debt of let's
[330]
say 100 shares in the firm of measurement that you need to pay 10%
[335]
of the interest every year and you'll you you will have 5% in
[339]
cash 5% in kind and the later part of the interest is called PIK that
[343]
means paid in kind and in the 1st year you will pay for
[346]
was 5% cash and 5% accrue in the next year along with the 10% of the next
[350]
year's principal amount and this method will go on until the whole debt has been
[355]
repaid so mezzanine debt is given usually for
[358]
the period of 10 years or less so you as a private equity firm needs to pay off
[363]
the debt within the 10 years and mezzanine debt also includes warranties
[366]
options so that you know lenders can participate in the equity returns sort
[371]
of thing now how to finance an LBO with thin assets know what to do when the
[380]
company's assets have been too thin we'll take an example here let's say
[384]
there is a company called MNC and it has a pre-tax income of so let's say $1.25
[389]
million dollars okay and the offer they get is a $5 million so they go
[396]
to the lenders and they try and arrange is some debt against the asset the only
[401]
problem they have is that they don't have enough assets to use the collateral
[405]
company MNC has let's say around 2 million worth of assets including
[410]
equipment but still there is a huge gap of what we call as 3 million so in this
[417]
situation the only option is to finance the LBO through what we call as cash
[423]
flows for that the cash flows have to be huge and it should cover the senior debt
[428]
the subordinated debt in the salary of the entrepreneur so if the cash flow is
[433]
not that big there is no point for which you should go for the buyout and there
[438]
is another option available if the asset value is higher than the cash flow and
[443]
the price in some of the assets of the company which can also be called as
[446]
equipment finance and within the rest you can run your company so based on
[451]
this let me make my final conclusion LBO financing is a great business by itself
[455]
if you can buy a great business you'd be able to make a huge profit out of there
[459]
just by putting in some of your own money and by borrowing the rest of the
[463]
money in that the only crucial thing is that you need to take care of the due
[467]
diligence part because that's that is what is gonna make a difference so you
[472]
need to make sure that before you ever decide to purchase the company you know
[476]
everything about the company and the operations the
[479]
product service how the company is run the senior management and how they make
[484]
decisions so the cash flow coming in pre-tax income every year and the
[487]
capital structure and the strategy of the business for the future expansion so
[490]
if you can do a thorough analysis find it satisfactory the only one you should
[494]
go for as an LBO it's a best better to invest your money in some other
[499]
investment opportunities that's it for this particular topic if you have
