Present a short note on "Funding through Leveraged Buyouts".

Answer & Explanation:

A leveraged buyout (LBO) is the acquisition of a company in which the buyer puts up only a small amount of money and borrows the rest. The buyer can achieve the desirable result because the targeted acquisition is profitable and throws off ample cash used to repay the debt. The expectation with leveraged buyouts is that the return generated on the acquisition will more than outweigh the interest paid on the debt, hence making it a very good way to experience high return whilst only risking a small amount of capital.
