Secure Your Acquisition Financing With A Lender Commitment Letter
We act as an independent advisor to secure a formal lender commitment letter for mergers and acquisitions. The work covers debt sizing, structure, covenants, conditions precedent, and draw mechanics. We prepare a lender-ready file, coordinate due diligence, and negotiate clear terms so sellers see firm funding support, not a preliminary expression of interest.
What The Commitment Letter Covers
- Facilities, quantum, tenor, repayment profile, and pricing grid with margin steps
- Financial covenants, information undertakings, reporting cadence, and cure mechanics
- Security package, guarantees, permitted liens, restricted payments, and baskets
- Conditions precedent, documentation list, funding timetable, and fee letter terms
- Use of proceeds, drawdown mechanics, and escrow or holdback where required

Timelines And Fees
A typical process takes three to six weeks from a complete file to a signed commitment letter. Fees depend on deal size, the number of lenders to be approached, and the documentation track. We provide a written quote before engagement and proceed only with your approval.
Risk, Compliance, And Process Integrity
All outreach is chaperoned and compliant with lender policies. Know your customer, anti-money-laundering, and sanctions checks apply to the buyer group and key executives. A lender’s commitment is always subject to final approvals and documentation. We align terms to practical closing requirements so the commitment translates into funds at completion.
Lender appetite and terms depend on the credit profile, sector, and market conditions. Any commitment is issued by the lender at its discretion following diligence and internal approvals. Nothing on this page is a commitment to lend or an offer of securities.
