Finance: In Brief
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A RASH of recent venture-capital successes may have given the impression that buying up businesses spun off by large corporates is an easy way to make money, but the Institute of Directors is anxious to stress that it is more complex than it looks.
Launching a booklet on the "keys to a successful management buy-in", the IoD director general, Tim Melville-Ross, said that acquiring a company in this way is "a complicated process, involving lengthy negotiations and close scrutiny of legal and financial documents. It can be enormously stressful for the managers involved - and their families." The booklet, produced in association with a venture capital firm, ECI Ventures, and the search consultancy, The Chief Executives' Office, looks at buy-ins and identifies the critical success factors.
