Acquisition Finance
Specialist funding to help with growth and expansion
When a company is looking to purchase another business, it will usually require some type of acquisition capital, and this is known as acquisition finance. Where a business is unable to fund from its own resources, acquisition finance can bridge the gap to complete the transaction. It allows the borrower to retain full control over their company by preventing them from having to give up a portion of ownership and can be a quick and efficient way to secure growth.

Types of Acquisition Finance
Funding for an acquisition is a form of debt finance and we have access to a vast array of funders who can provide acquisition finance via the following options:
Asset Finance
Asset finance is a good option if the company you are seeking to buy has significant assets on the balance sheet as a loan can be secured against these assets.
Bridging Loans
If you are acquiring a company but then intending to sell some of the assets, a bridging loan may be a better option than longer-term finance. It is a short term loan which will provide finance quickly.
Unsecured Business Loans
If you want an acquisition loan without offering security, an unsecured business loan may be your best option if your company has a strong credit score and financial history. These types of loans are over a shorter period of time than a secured loan.
Secured Business Loans
If you are happy to provide security, then a secured business loan will provide you with a larger loan offering over a longer period of time and usually at lower interest rates than an unsecured loan.
If you are looking to grow and expand your business then get in touch with us today to see how we can help your company reach its goals with acquisition finance.
