Merger and Acquisition Finance
Are you looking to fund the acquisition or purchase of a UK company?
M&A transactions often require significant capital in order to complete a deal. Plexus Finance provide deal support and funding for merger & acquisition deals.
Plexus Finance helps support MBO and MBI transactions by utilising multiple financial products. Whilst acquiring businesses is often a costly exercise for the party purchasing another entity, we are able to assist by helping fund a large percentage of the total cost.
Leveraged buy-outs are a common method of acquiring businesses and through our years of experience we have supported numerous transactions of this nature. Asset based financing options are a popular tool to help fund MBOs and MBIs but the options are not limited to asset-based finance.
Plexus Finance provides support throughout the buying or selling process. We provide support before terms are agreed right through to completion. We are able to provide structure to offers and tailor solutions to fit any transaction. We have completed transactions of all shapes and sizes and are sector agnostic.
Transaction Mechanisms
Leveraged Buyouts
Leveraged buyouts are becoming an increasingly more common way of purchasing the shares of a business. Leveraged buyouts utilise the assets of the target company in order for a new party to purchase the shares from the existing shareholders.
The company is purchased using a combination of debt and equity but a leveraged buyout keeps the equity portion lower and leverages the assets of the company to raise debt. There are several benefits to this method. Firstly, the buyer reduces the amount of funding they put into the purchase Secondly in doing so they increase their return on their investment. Finally, the purchaser can leverage the strength of the company to secure more favourable terms.
Invoice & Asset Finance
Lending secured against assets such as plant, machinery, debtors, and property are preferred by lenders. This is due to the security the assets hold. With larger transactions lenders will take comfort from securitising lending against physical assets as in the event of failure they are more likely to recoup their funds. Invoice finance is traditionally a working capital tool but can be used to assist with the purchase of a business. Cash tied up in unpaid invoices can serve as a smart way of generating funds alongside plant, machinery, vehicles, and property
Cashflow & Senior Debt Lending
Not all businesses have large tangible assets on their balance sheets which can make lenders uncomfortable however there are specialist lenders that offer loans to support these transactions. Lenders will require detailed financial forecasts in order to understand the ability for the company to repay the funds. We work with a number of lenders that can structure loans to amortize or include bullet repayments to make the term more affordability in the early times after an acquisition has completed.
