Acquisition Finance
You have an LOI or purchase agreement. Senior debt is sized. Seller is ready.
The only thing missing is the equity check or subordinated layer that makes the capital stack close.
Financely structures and places gap financing for business acquisitions using mezzanine debt, preferred equity, structured sponsor equity, and bridge capital.
Gap financing is the capital layer between senior debt and the buyer’s cash equity. It is used when the buyer cannot or does not want to write the full equity check required by the senior lender.
Common drivers:
Subordinated debt behind senior lender. Higher yield, often includes warrants or PIK interest.
Equity-like capital with fixed return and priority over common equity.
Third-party equity with return hurdles and control protections.
Short-term capital to close while permanent capital is raised.
| Metric | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| Enterprise Value | $5M to $100M |
| EBITDA | $1M+ |
| Gap Size | $500k to $15M |
| Industries | Services, manufacturing, distribution, software, healthcare, logistics |
Recurring revenue, diversified customers, defensible margins.
Buyer must retain working capital after closing.
Reasonable covenants, no structural traps.
Operators who have closed and run businesses before get better terms.
Financely operates as a transaction-led capital advisory and distribution desk. We structure the gap layer, build a lender-ready package, and distribute to private credit funds and specialty capital providers.
If you are unfamiliar with how private credit works, start with What Is Trade Finance and our overview of Trade Finance Services. Many acquisition financings combine cash-flow loans with asset-based or receivables-backed structures.
If a credit enhancement is required, see How To Raise Capital Using A Standby Letter Of Credit.
Review LOI/APA, financials, and senior debt terms.
Design gap instrument and economics.
Build credit memo and investor deck.
Targeted outreach to qualified capital.
If you have an LOI or signed purchase agreement and need gap capital to close, submit your deal for feasibility review.
