PE Case Study with Only CIM
Looking for any guidance on how to approach an LBO with only a CIM. I understand building the basic LBO but I’m not sure entirely sure how to go about building the debt schedule if I’m not given any info about debt structure. Would appreciate any advice or resources.
Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some steps and tips to approach an LBO with only a CIM, especially when you lack specific information about the debt structure:
Analyze the CIM Thoroughly:
Create Assumptions for Debt Structure:
Modeling the Capital Structure:
Building the LBO Model:
Resources and Practice:
By following these steps, you can create a well-rounded LBO model even with limited information from the CIM. Remember, the key is to back up your assumptions with data from comparable transactions and industry standards.
