Acquisition and Deposit Funding
This a type of business finance is used to purchase a business, which can enable an existing company to expand, take on new capabilities and increase potential growth.
We are able to provide loans for the acquisition of business in the medical and paper professions sectors, specifically Dentists, Pharmacists, Veterinarians, GPs, Opticians, Solicitors, Barristers, Accountants, Surveyors and Architects. We can also provide loans to part fund a practice acquisition. These funds can be used towards deposits to run alongside conventional bank funding.
Many organisations seek additional funding to assist with a purchase, due to the speed of acquiring the finance as opposed to using any existing cashflow within the business, which may already be allocated for other purposes such as day to day running costs.
Acquisitions and mergers can be long and complex undertakings, with a larger number of factors and variables in play. Funding such endeavours can be a daunting task without expert advice regarding funding options, payment structure, length of term and the best course of action in sourcing finance.

The Benefits of Acquisition and Deposit Funding
Flexible Terms and Borrowing Amounts
Acquisition and deposit funding is available over flexible terms ranging from 3 months to 5 years.
As they are taken on an unsecured basis, borrowing amounts are not restricted to the amount of equity in an asset or property.
Instead they are dependent on the company value, purchase price and company strength. The stronger a company, the higher the potential borrowing amounts.
Increased Spending Power
Acquisition loans are tailored to enable investors and companies to increase their spending power.
With access to additional funding, you can complete your business acquisitions, while reducing the impact on current cash reserves.
Many lenders will approve applications within 24 hours, provided that all the required documents are provided at the time of application.
Supplement Existing Loan Agreements
We may be able to assist by way of offering a deposit loan that can work alongside a larger bank loan facility when making a purchase.
For example, if a bank will only provide funding for 70% of the purchase and you only have 20% of the deposit required, then we assist in arranging a finance facility to fund the remaining 10% to enable you to complete the transaction.
