●● Venture capital (or similar) organizations with money to invest acquire a majority shareholding in an organization, most typically one that is seen to be underperforming, with a view to turning it round and then selling it again (in a relatively short number of years) for a profit. The sale may be to another parent organization or to the company’s existing management team, who borrow the money to fund what is called a ‘management buy-in’. The money returned to the venture capital business is then normally reinvested in a similar turnaround business.
