Industry LBO execution
How to model an LBO for UK Vertical Software assets
Direct answer
For UK Vertical Software buyouts, the LBO model should anchor on arr growth net of churn and explicitly stress platform migration delays plus legacy contract churn. Underwriting quality comes from converting operating assumptions into cash conversion cases, then testing debt service under downside, base, and control-upside scenarios.
Core risk factors
- Platform migration delays
- Legacy contract churn
- Implementation cost overruns
