M&A deals don't fall apart because the business is bad. They fall apart because the buyer can’t close in time. If you’ve got a signed LOI or purchase agreement but your investor round, SBA loan, or permanent facility isn’t ready yet, bridge capital is your answer. Fast, flexible, and structured around the deal—not your personal balance sheet. At Financely, we connect buyers with real private lenders who fund U.S. business acquisitions on deadline.
Most M&A deals move fast—especially in competitive sectors. Sellers want commitment. Brokers set tight timelines. Meanwhile, traditional lenders take 60–90 days to underwrite. If you need to close this quarter and your long-term financing isn’t ready, private bridge capital steps in. It gets you to closing while you line up the refinance, equity injection, or earnout.
Bridge capital is ideal for:
- Roll-up buyers acquiring multiple small businesses
- Sponsors doing leveraged buyouts with deferred financing
- PE-backed operators waiting on delayed draws or investor commitments
- Acquirers needing gap funding before SBA/USDA approvals
- Asset-heavy businesses where the collateral supports the loan
Private lenders fund based on deal structure, asset coverage, and exit strategy—not just corporate credit. Common terms include:
- Loan sizes from $500K to $30M+
- Terms from 3 to 18 months
- Interest-only with bullet payoff
- Exit via SBA refi, senior debt facility, or investor close
- Origination fees paid upfront
These are not venture debt lenders or high-volume bank shops. These are private desks that underwrite fast and fund real deals when speed matters.
If your deal is real and you’re ready to move, we can get it in front of lenders today. You’ll need:
- Signed LOI or purchase agreement
- Basic financials on the target (past 2–3 years)
- Deal summary: valuation, terms, exit plan
- Use-of-funds breakdown and cap table
- Commitment letter or timeline for permanent funding (if available)
If you’ve got those pieces—or close to it—Financely will help you tighten the package and push it to lenders that actually fund M&A bridge loans, not just “review” them.
Send us your deal. Financely structures and places bridge loans for U.S. buyers every week—so you don’t lose a great company over slow money.

Deals die when financing drags. Bridge capital buys you the time to execute. At Financely, we bring private M&A bridge loans to the table when others are still scheduling Zoom calls. If you’re serious about closing and the numbers make sense, we’ll help you get it done—on time, with private capital, and on terms that work.
