Winton will help:
- Determine if the sellers want to "cash out" completely or if they would be willing to support the acquisition in the form of seller financing. Other mechanisms include employment agreements, "earn-out" arrangements, and consulting contracts.
- Look to your own business as well as the target, to see if you can leverage existing assets and cash flow in the form of traditional bank financing to fund the acquisition.
- Determine other sources and types of funds including commercial financing, private equity groups, leasing, mezzanine funds, ESOP financing, and leveraged buyouts or management buyouts.
Winton will help companies find, structure, negotiate and close financing for acquisition. This includes:
- Determining the appropriate type of financing
- Preparing a confidential offering memorandum
- Identifying and contacting sources
- Assisting with negotiation and closing
