DESCRIPTION
Create up to a 15-year financial projection for any business acquisition that uses debt and equity. The assumptions are not industry-specific, but rather top-down for revenues, receivables, payables and cost of goods sold. Fixed costs are bottom-up.
The purpose of this template is to plan out a leveraged buyout of a target company, forecast the expected acquisition costs, revenues / expenses / cash flow, and potential future exit.
Leveraged Buyout (LBO) models are instrumental in the finance realm, predominantly for evaluating and facilitating private equity transactions. These models offer an in-depth analysis of potential acquisitions heavily reliant on debt, or leverage. It assists buyers in grasping potential investment returns and risks.
This template evaluates if the target company can withstand a particular leverage level, delivering a return on investment over a potential 15-year span. The primary metric sought from this model is the least equity required. This is determined by considering factors like the initial purchase price (equity component), capital expenditures, upfront costs, and early operational expenses. These elements are adaptable based on changing assumptions.
