M&A Financing Advisory.
A merger or acquisition rarely runs on equity alone — the debt component has to be structured against the acquirer's balance sheet, the target's cash flows, or both, depending on how the deal is built.
Merger Financing · Acquisition Debt · Combined Entity Structuring
Where This Applies
- A merger or acquisition needs a debt component alongside promoter or sponsor equity.
- The deal structure affects where debt sits — acquirer, target, or a new holding entity.
- Lenders need comfort on the combined entity post-transaction, not just the standalone acquirer.
- Timing has to align with deal closing so financing isn't the constraint on execution.
How We Approach It
We work with the deal structure as agreed commercially and build the financing around it — assessing whether debt sits at the acquirer, the target, or a new holding structure, and matching that to lenders comfortable with the resulting risk.
