Acquisition Finance
There are many ways to business success, whether creating a startup or natural expansion, but the most profitable and sensible way can be through a merger or acquisition of another business.
Deals and financing may be complex for a company that is looking to expand through purchasing another business, but we can help provide a bespoke funding package to cover every aspect of the deal and help two become one quicker and easier than through traditional financial routes.
The bespoke financial package can be made up of various portions of different ratios including a mix of secured bank loan, unsecured loans, utilising any local or national government funding available and deferred considerations based on certain conditions.
Acquiring another company is an opportunity to increase your market share, access a new audience, acquire top talent and eliminate the competition.
If you’re ready to expand your footprint, you need financing to fuel your upcoming deal. At Hilton Smythe, we know the ins and outs of the financial aspect of these types of deals.
With our team, you can obtain the finances you need to supercharge your growth and begin the next chapter of your brand’s story.
What is acquisition finance?
Acquisition financing is the process of gathering the capital needed to purchase another business. In an ideal world, this money would already be sitting in your company’s bank account, but the reality is rarely this straightforward.
The majority of acquisitions require external financing to fund and the right strategy to spread the total cost. An acquisition must make sense in the long term, and we help you to identify the financing plan that works for both sides.
With so many acquisition financing options available, hiring one of our consultants can unlock new financing options, provide tailored advice on the financial side and ensure that any proposed deal matches your business goals.
What type of financing is used for acquisitions?
Any form of financing can be used to complete your business’s acquisition. Every business’s story is different, which is why our consultants can point you in the right direction.
Some of the financing options UK companies can use include:
Capital must always be raised in a way that lessens the impact on your existing business and gives you everything you need to get your post-merger operations off to the best start. Our consultants account for these needs to position you for future success.
On the other hand, no two companies are the same. Every business requires a plan tailored to them. Join the Hilton Smythe community by hiring one of our consultants to learn more about the best way forward for your upcoming acquisition.
What do acquisition finance consultants do?
Embarking upon a merger is daunting, with countless pitfalls that can stop an otherwise glowing deal in its tracks. Our acquisition finance consultants work directly with company directors and investors to leverage different financial options.
Our experience working with companies in all of the UK’s major economic sectors allows us to take a big-picture view, accounting for several aspects, including:
Business Strategy: Any merger must make sense for your finances. We take the long-term view when analysing potential mergers and associated financing options.
Tax: Your tax strategy is closely entwined with any merger. We do our best to support your merger to lower your tax expenditure to leave more pounds in your pocket.
Structuring: Existing debt, corporate entity and board setups can impact the structure and financing outlook of any merged business entity. Our consultants can unpick these complex structures to help your deal go through.
Working with an acquisitions financing consultant is your source of truth as you deal with the pounds and pennies. With your consultant, you are poised to increase the chances of your merger going through, gain the financing you need and position your business for success.
