Funding the acquisition of a new business can be complex, but there are lenders who are willing and able to support transactions.

By using a combination of asset finance, revolving facilities such as invoice finance, equity and mezzanine funding it is possible to fund an acquisition in full.

The key to acquisition funding is to ensure the business case for the acquisition is sound with strong integrated forecasting (covering profit and loss, balance sheet and cash flow statements) together with realistic sales forecasts.
