Business Acquisition | M&A Debt | Underwriting And Distribution
AI-Powered Business Acquisition Loan Platform
Acquisition financing does not fail because “banks do not lend.” It fails because the submission is not an underwritable acquisition file.
Lenders do not finance an LOI. They finance a verifiable cash flow story, clean deal terms, and a downside case that still repays.
Financely is an AI-powered decisioning platform for business acquisition loans.
Buyers upload their deal documents, we underwrite to lender standards, match the deal to suitable lenders, and run tracked distribution to written outcomes.
What This Platform Does
Acquisition Intake That Produces A Lender-Grade File
- Structured upload of LOI or APA, sources and uses, and closing timeline
- Automated checklist and missing-item flags
- AI-assisted extraction of target financial metrics and add-back support
- Human underwriting review and normalization
The output is a lender-ready acquisition package that reads like an internal credit memo.
Lender Matching And Controlled Outreach
- Lender fit scoring by industry, size, leverage tolerance, and structure
- Curated list aligned to mandate criteria, not generic blasting
- Two structured submission waves with tracked status
- Q&A routing and term sheet comparison matrix
You get decisioning to written term sheets or written declines, fast.
Who It Is For
Best fit:
independent sponsors, searchers, corporate acquirers, and repeat buyers pursuing control acquisitions with a real target business, real financials, and a credible closing plan.
If the target’s numbers cannot be reconciled, the equity source is vague, or the timeline is fantasy, lenders will decline.
The platform is designed to force discipline early.

Decisioning Guarantee
Process guarantee, not a funding guarantee:
if, after outreach launch, you do not receive at least one written term sheet or a written decline within 21 business days, we extend outreach and follow-ups until written outcomes are obtained, or we credit the next mandate’s start milestone for the same client.
This is conditioned on timely delivery of required documents, accurate disclosures, and reasonable cooperation with lender Q&A.

We do not promise approvals or funding.
Where licensing is required for execution, we coordinate execution through appropriately licensed counterparties under their approvals.
FAQ
Can I Get Acquisition Financing With Only An LOI?
You can sometimes get early lender interest with an LOI, but serious underwriting typically starts when deal terms are stable and the diligence plan is clear.
LOI stage should be used to build the lender pack, not to broadcast the deal.
Do You Require A Quality Of Earnings Report?
Not always, but lenders will always require a defensible earnings picture. For many deals, a structured normalization of EBITDA and add-backs is mandatory.
A third-party QoE can materially reduce lender friction for larger or more complex transactions.
Do You Provide The Loan?
No. Financely packages the acquisition to lender standards, matches it to suitable lenders, and runs controlled decisioning to written outcomes.
