Starting finance talks early is crucial

Prior to beginning any discussions about purchasing a business, an acquiring company needs to ensure it has the funds to complete the deal. 

Deal finance can be sourced in many ways, with the most common being a loan from a third-party lender for most or all the purchase price. Often, acquirers begin their search for financing part-way through the transaction, but it’s crucial to speak to lenders early to keep to your deal timescales.
