Overview

An LBO model tests whether an acquisition can be funded with debt and still deliver an equity return. Matchpoint builds LBO models for management buy-outs, sponsor deals and acquisition financing, sizing the debt and mapping the returns.

As part of our Advisory & Execution practice, Matchpoint Partners has originated and led $2+ billion of transactions across four continents — and every advisory & execution mandate is led by a partner, from first call to close.

LBO Model — frequently asked questions

A model of an acquisition funded largely by debt, showing how the debt is repaid from cash flow and what equity return results at exit. It is essential for buy-outs and acquisition financing.

Yes, MBOs, MBIs and sponsor-led LBOs, including the debt structure and the equity story for management and backers.

The hands-on work behind a raise or restructuring: financial modelling (three-statement, DCF, LBO, project finance, 13-week cash flow), investor documentation (information memorandum, pitch deck, business plan, data room), fundraising support (strategy, investor mapping, outreach, term-sheet and cap-table advisory) and transaction or turnaround support (valuation, due-diligence prep, IBR, lender packs).

Yes. These services are delivered on a monthly retainer or per deliverable, so a company that needs a model, an IM or a full fundraising process can bring in senior corporate finance capability without hiring a team.

Founders, promoters, developers and management teams that need capital and need the modelling, documentation and process done to an institutional standard — including businesses under time or liquidity pressure.

Matchpoint works primarily on a success fee, with a modest retainer to cover execution. Fees are agreed in writing up front and scaled to the size and complexity of the transaction — with no hidden costs.

Most mandates reach a first term sheet within 30 days, depending on diligence readiness and structure; closing follows once terms are agreed.

A short, confidential scoping call and NDA; we structure the requirement and prepare materials, then run a competitive process across our 5,000+ investor and lender relationships, and negotiate to close — with a partner leading at every step.
