We connect buyers with lenders across all funding tiers to secure the capital needed for business acquisitions. Our relationships with banks, private lenders, and alternative finance providers ensure you have multiple funding options.
Major UK banks offering competitive rates and established lending criteria. Ideal for buyers with strong credit history and substantial deposits. Typically require 30-40% deposit and proven business experience.
Best for: Established buyers with strong financials
Specialist business finance providers who understand SME acquisitions. More flexible criteria than high street banks with faster decision-making. Suitable for buyers with 20-30% deposit and reasonable credit history.
Best for: Experienced buyers needing flexibility
Private lenders, mezzanine finance, and vendor financing options for buyers who don't meet traditional lending criteria. Higher rates but accessible funding for the right opportunity. Deposit requirements vary by deal.
Best for: First-time buyers or complex deals
We work with you to identify the most suitable funding tier based on your financial position, deposit availability, and acquisition target. Our relationships with lenders across all tiers mean we can often secure better terms and faster approvals than approaching lenders directly. We guide you through the application process, help prepare financial projections, and coordinate with your accountant to present the strongest possible case to lenders.
