Bridge Loans for M&A and Project Close

Bridge Loans for M&A and Project Close

Deals often face a timing gap. Equity is committed, long-term debt is in documentation, but the signing deadline is fixed. Financely arranges bridge loans that provide liquidity for acquisitions and project finance until permanent capital closes. These facilities are short-term, priced for certainty, and structured with step-downs once long-tenor financing is in place.

“The bridge facility closed in three weeks and gave us time to finalize our long-term financing. Without it, the acquisition would have collapsed.”
