Business Acquisition Gap Funding | CLOSE
Business Acquisition Gap Funding
The Problem
Purchase agreements set firm calendars. Senior lenders cap hold sizes or reduce leverage after diligence. Sellers expect cash at close with limited flexibility. The result is a defined shortfall across equity, fees, and working capital at completion.
The Impact If You Wait
Extensions raise costs and weaken negotiating position. Earnout and seller paper become more expensive. Key employees lose confidence and integration planning stalls. The window to close can narrow quickly.
Solve It Through CLOSE
CLOSE arranges capital that fits the SPA calendar and the senior lender requirements. Instruments include preferred equity to complete the equity check, mezzanine behind the senior facility with clear intercreditor terms, and short-dated bridge financing tied to refinance, dividend recap, or asset sale. Intake and document classification are AI assisted with human credit sign off. Execution runs through regulated counterparties. Where required, transactions are conducted under a broker dealer chaperone.
Revenue mix, customer concentrations, margin stability, and cash conversion. Independent QofE and working capital peg analysis preferred.
SPA terms, rollover equity, seller notes, earnouts, and escrow. Sources and uses with fees and taxes itemized and dated.
Senior hold, pricing, amortization, and covenants mapped to base and downside cases. Intercreditor framework where applicable.
Capital Options To Close The Gap
