What We Look For With Business Acquisition transactions

When planning a business acquisition, it’s important to provide clear information about both the business being bought and the buyer. This includes details of the business’s operations, customers, staff, and recent financials, as well as credit information or personal financials for the acquirer. You should also outline the acquisition strategy, expected cashflow, impact on key staff, and the purchase price and terms, including any security or guarantees. Providing this information upfront helps us assess the deal efficiently and ensures a smoother funding process.

Case Studies

Find out how Asset Advantage has enabled SMEs to buy a business through our Business Acquisition loan.

    What our broker panel say

    • It was fantastic working with Philip and the team. They took a holistic view of the client's other ventures, and understood the goals of this new venture, leading them to fund the full amount. This avoided the need to syndicate the deal.
    • The flexibility of Asset Advantage has been amazing.
    • I normally do asset acquisitions, so with this Business Acquisition I needed to find a storybook lender. Asset Advantage were very open, and had sensible rates. The fact they have a flat rate made our lives very easy from day one, as the customer knew where he needed to be if the deal got approved. The whole deal went through very quickly.
    • Asset Advantage are very flexible, and enabled the deal to be done as a blend of business loan and finance lease, with payout split into two tranches… What Asset Advantage do works very well, and it’s done brilliantly.
    • I had heard that Asset Advantage take a common-sense approach, but it was great to see that was true, and have it applied to my deal.
    • No one is better for a start-up than Asset Advantage. Plus the fact that they will lend on a 5 year term to a new start is unique and very well received.
