By the end of this course, learners will be able to define leveraged buyouts (LBOs), analyze real-world case studies, evaluate capital and transaction structures, calculate free cash flows, construct fixed asset and debt schedules, and measure investment returns using IRR analysis. This comprehensive course blends fundamental theory with hands-on financial modeling, ensuring that learners not only understand the mechanics of LBOs but can also apply them to practical deal-making scenarios. Through structured lessons and real case studies such as Hilton Hotels, Gibson Greeting Cards, and Tata Steel–Corus, participants will explore how LBOs are financed, executed, and optimized for returns. Unlike generic finance courses, this program uniquely combines step-by-step Excel modeling with real-world examples, allowing learners to practice building valuation sheets, transaction assumptions, and financing structures from scratch. Whether you are a finance student, aspiring investment banker, or private equity professional, this course equips you with market-relevant skills to evaluate deals, minimize risks, and maximize investor value. Enroll today to gain a competitive edge in corporate finance and private equity deal-making.
