Management buy-in

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

The concept is just one word different from MBO and this can be readily explained in the article "Leverage buy-out". The article additionally mentions the example without source and introduces an acronym "BIMBO" that I think no one uses Jaeljojo (talk) 21:45, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Merge - There seem to be a number of places that list the term, though it's probably appropriate if they are put into a single article. — Parent5446 ☯ ([ msg] email) 20:54, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge per Parent5446: good idea. Bearian (talk) 19:04, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
 * It is defined as a type of buyout; leveraged buyout is a method, so buyout seems to be the most suitable merge target. Is there a reason to merge specifically to Leveraged buyout? Peter&#160;E.&#160;James (talk) 20:15, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Comment The term does appear to be notable; Google News Archive suggests that it is in widespread use. However, these are examples of usage, not explanations or definitions of the process. Here is one article that is about the process, although I am not familiar with the source growthbusiness.co.uk to know if it is a reliable source or not. --MelanieN (talk) 22:22, 5 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep I added the above link to the article. Search suggests that both "management buy-in" and "buy-in management buyout" are commonly used terms, as is the acronym BIMBO for the latter. More sources would be helpful. --MelanieN (talk) 22:31, 5 August 2012 (UTC)
