Challenges of Buyouts and Acquisitions

There are many challenges when you buy an existing business. Don’t let financing be one of them.

The acquisition and transition to new ownership can involve many day-to-day details, legal agreements, contracts and leases, dealing with the employees and customers, goods or services production, and many others. Acquisition finance should never be an undue strain.

Accord provides simple and easy-to-understand financing based on the assets of the business you are acquiring. This enables you to focus on the opportunities for your business, while we will provide the financing. We assist a large number of customers who are financial sponsors with a controlling interest in their newly acquired company.

Accord’s buyout and acquisition finance facilities are based on the value of the assets; the accounts receivable, inventory, machinery, and equipment. We do not rely on financial covenants that may constrain your flexibility in operating the business. We rely on your expertise and the value of your assets.
