Business financing
Acquisition financing
Capital structured for a business purchase or management buyout.
What it is
Acquisition financing provides funding for a business purchase or a management buyout—the combination of debt and sometimes equity that a transaction needs.
The structure depends on the target’s financials, the buyer’s contribution, and the shape of the transaction.
Where it fits
- A business purchase
- A management buyout
- A transaction requiring a combination of debt and sometimes equity
- An acquisition where the capital stack needs to be shaped around the buyer and target
What shapes the structure
- The target’s financials and cash flow
- The buyer’s contribution
- The shape of the transaction and its financing need
- Industry, time in business, and lender criteria
How we approach it
We work with the buyer, owners, attorneys, and CPA firms to understand the transaction before considering the route. The goal is a structure that supports the purchase and fits the business after closing.
Stapleton Frost arranges financing through lenders and capital providers; it does not lend directly. We keep the discussion confidential and look for the route that fits the transaction—not simply the first available facility. Terms depend on the business’s financials and the lender’s criteria.
