Acquisition Financing: Fast Certainty of Funds

Important. Securities activities are conducted under a chaperone arrangement with a U.S. registered broker-dealer. We are not a lender. Any financing depends on lender approval and definitive documentation. Terms vary with market conditions and credit.

Acquisition Financing: Fast Certainty of Funds

We run a bookrunner-style placement to secure committed capital for acquisitions. The focus is speed to close, disciplined conditionality, and term control, with flexibility to refinance into the takeout when the window is open.

Why This Approach

  • Chaperoned distribution. Regulated execution, KYC and AML covered, established lender access.
  • Execution first. Short list, tight timetable, SunGard-style conditions where feasible, CP checklist ownership.
  • Aligned fees. Success-based economics with a modest work fee credited at close.
  • Market reach. Private credit, unitranche clubs, second lien, mezzanine, holdco providers, and relationship banks.

Capital We Place

  • Senior or unitranche with DDTL for add-ons
  • Second lien or mezzanine and holdco PIK when needed
  • Committed accordion and incremental capacity sized to pipeline
  • Seller notes coordinated with intercreditor terms

Outcome. Certainty of funds, workable covenants, and a clear path to TLB, ABL, ABS, or long-dated private credit takeout.

Process and Term Control

Timeline

  • Weeks 1 to 2. Model review, leverage rails, lender materials, curated lender list, NDAs, data room live.
  • Weeks 3 to 4. Indications to term sheets, structured Q&A, comparative grid across pricing, tests, and flex.

  • Refinancing flexibility, call schedule, MFN, and portability to takeout
