From Private Equity professionals

The LBO case is where Private Equity candidates are lost

“We receive so many applications to work in PE, sometimes with a brilliant CV, but what a disappointment at the stage of the LBO case! We lose more than 95% of them.”

FAQ

Private Equity LBO training: before you enroll

What is an LBO case in a Private Equity interview?

It is the technical test most Private Equity funds use to screen candidates: you model a leveraged buyout and defend the returns. It comes in three formats, a 10-minute paper LBO, a short LBO on Excel, and a full LBO model as a take-home case of up to 48 hours. The training covers all three.

Who is this training for?

Candidates interviewing for Private Equity funds, for a full-time role or an internship, and junior professionals who want to sharpen their LBO modeling on Excel.

Are there any prerequisites?

Ideally around 6 months of experience in M&A, transaction services or audit, a solid understanding of the balance sheet, P&L and cash flow statement, and a good level on Excel.

How do I access the course after paying?

Your account is created at checkout. Log in right after payment to watch the videos and download the Excel model. Access is unlimited.

Mac or PC?

You need a computer, an internet connection and Excel (Office 365). The course works on Mac, but a PC is recommended to build the LBO model.

How can I pay?

By card or PayPal, in one payment of 489 €. Professionals can ask their employer to cover it and receive a VAT invoice. The training is not eligible for the CPF.

Can I get a refund?

Yes, if you purchased less than 48 hours ago and viewed less than 20% of the training. Write to contact@alumneye.fr.
