Acquisition Financing: Customized Debt & Equity Solutions for Buyers

Chasing a target? Cash needs to land on time, covenants must fit your plan, and sellers won’t wait forever. We stitch together senior debt, mezzanine, seller paper and equity so your bid hits hard without giving away the farm.

When This Matters

  • Management buyouts where speed and discretion trump long committee processes.
  • Add-ons that have to close before a competitor shows up.
  • Take-privates where leverage, pricing and board optics all collide.
  • Recaps that shift risk off the table while owners roll into the next chapter.

Our Advisory Work

  • Capital-Stack Design: Mix of term debt, unitranche, mezzanine, preferred equity and seller notes.
  • Lender & Investor Outreach: Banks, private-credit funds and co-invest partners that write real checks.
  • Financial Modelling: Pro-forma cash flows, downside cases, waterfall returns.
  • Negotiation: Pricing, covenants, earn-out terms, intercreditor language.
  • Closing Choreography: Legal, tax and escrow hurdles cleared so money moves when the ink dries.
