Empowering a Management Buyout with Precision Valuation – Engineering Sector

Achieve Corporation recently partnered with a leading engineering consultancy to conduct a business valuation critical to facilitating a management buyout (MBO). The consultancy, with a solid reputation for delivering innovative solutions in civil and structural engineering, required a precise understanding of its enterprise value to secure funding for the transaction.

Using a blend of discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis, industry benchmarking, and profitability ratios, Achieve Corporation determined an enterprise value significantly higher than preliminary estimates. This valuation provided the management team with the confidence to approach lenders and secure funding on favourable terms.

The MBO was successfully completed, empowering the team to take full ownership and align business operations with their growth vision. The consultancy’s Managing Director commented, “Achieve Corporation’s valuation not only uncovered the true potential of our business but also played a pivotal role in securing the financial backing we needed.”

  • Customers & sectors: OEMs and Tier-1/Tier-2 supply chains across industrials (e.g., energy, aerospace, defence, rail, food & drink, process).

  • Contracts: sticky revenue—framework agreements, LTAs, call-off or service contracts; healthy order book.

  • Quality & compliance: ISO 9001 (and relevant sector standards), robust HSE, traceability, documented processes, MRP/ERP in place.

(Examples above are indicative; we will assess any complementary niche engineering business meeting the revenue range.)

Why this buyer

  • Speed and certainty: streamlined due diligence, focused data requests, proven integration playbook.
