OVERVIEW – Information on acquisition finance solutions and challenges revolving around the business purchase decision

Business purchase decisions. Knock Knock - Who's There?

Opportunity has arrived! The ability to control or buy a business requires though, acquisition finance funding. Buying a business with the right financing in place helps guarantee the success that comes with sales and profit growth, and businesses in the SME segment of the economy rarely have all the ' cash ' they need to buy a company . The solutions? Let's dig in.

Clients we meet have varied reasons to buy a business. In some cases it might simply be the purchase of an existing franchise - rightfully or wrongfully some consider that decision as ' buying a job '. We'll let the pundits weigh in on that argument.

In other cases it allows the owner to speed up growth plans, expand into the U.S. or internationally, or to have the ability to capitalize on special technologies. All of those translate into the need to have a ' plan' to show that financing will allow those sales and profits.

One myth of acquisition finance is that 100% financing is available to purchasers of a business. That is very, very rarely the case. Another myth is that business purchases are geared towards specific industries, when in fact any business can be acquired. In the SME sector it is particularly hard to finance the purchase of a service business as there are rarely assets to support the transaction.

In numerous cases the type of financing you need to buy a business might simply be a temporary ' bridge ' solution to a longer term ' full time ' finance solution. That could be termed ' transition' financing.

Here it's important to ' button hole ' the types of financing you will need for your acquisition. That comes in various forms:

Cash flow term loans

Asset financing

Working Capital


Other areas to be considered include the amount of debt that is already in the company that you are looking to acquire. In many cases this debt or other facilities will need to be ' taken out' or reworked in some manner. Many transaction we see have some form of ' seller finance' involved, having the owner participate in the financing by taking some form of a ' note'.

The actual financial solutions that will allow you to complete proper financing include:

Asset based loans
Bank Term Loans
Government Guaranteed Loans
Unsecured cash flow loans
Non bank asset based lines of credit
A/R and Inventory Financing
Sale leasebacks of unencumbered assets
Commercial mortgages
