acquisition finance
that helps you change gear

Whilst some acquisitions can be fully financed on a cash basis, or even through the performance of the acquired business, these deals are becoming increasingly rare. Most business buyers leverage their acquisition through finance.

Why? Because access to acquisition finance has never been easier to realise, or as efficient. In many cases, repayments can be more than covered by the trading performance within five years of deal completion.

We help clients aim higher when it comes to acquisition as larger businesses are more attractive for lenders as well as new owners. The companies tend to be more stable, have wider customer bases, and have more potential for future profitability and growth. Furthermore, they are more likely to have an established management team and therefore need less hands-on owners.

Client range from corporations to private equity, high net worth individuals to management teams wanting to buy out existing owners – whatever your circumstances, we are here to help.

What Business Finance Options are You Considering?

When you work with us, we can help you find the right finance partner to help you secure the most appealing finance rates and structures. Depending on what you are looking for, we can help you find:

  • Asset Finance
  • Cashflow Lending
  • Business Loans, including Recovery Loans where achievable
  • Invoice Finance
  • Leveraged Buyouts
  • Commercial Property and Bridging Loans

Our lenders have extensive experience in securing the right mix for clients and helping them realise their acquisition ambitions. And we can help you too.

Need Corporate Finance… We can help!

Many clients use Unloq for deal origination but have a Corporate Finance partner already in place, and this mix works well, but some clients prefer to find the opportunity first and then approach another party to support the financing on a more engaged basis. We work closely with a very experienced firm well versed in Corporate Finance, that can work on models and structures to find the best team to back your acquisition – so if you want to choose specialists, we can recommend.

Regardless of your circumstances, if you need to secure more funding for your next acquisition, then let’s discuss the range of finance options available to you.
