2 Debt structured deals
A debt structured deal is a transaction where a company agrees with a third-party lender to borrow capital. Historically this was provided by the main banks. Now, however, there's been a diversification of lenders to include specialist debt providers and private equity houses. These are often used as a method of raising capital for growth or acquisitions.

3 Management buyouts
Similar to an EOT, a management buyout (MBO) is a type of transaction where the existing management team buy controlling shares in a company. These transactions often involve private equity investment alongside management for a stake in the business moving forward. It allows for a controlled exit for the existing owners, while keeping the business in the hand of those who know it best.
