Hi all,

Some partners and I are under LOI to acquire a 50+ year old $4.4 million EBITDA manufacturer of stamped and welded components for the automotive space (components for seating, doors, windows, consoles, etc).

We would be buying the company for a ~3.3x valuation. We're contemplating $10 million of debt (or 2.26x leverage) at close (but are open to getting bids for lower or higher amounts). The amount of equity we'd need to raise from external parties would be $2 - 5 million.

We're looking to find lenders and accredited equity investors to finance this transaction - let me know if you have recommendations or would be interested.

Feel free to email me at redacted

At 3.3 you should be able to debt finance the entire cash at close (like 75% of EV) + a seller note. There is no need to make this too complicated. Using commercial debt is the best way to make an acquisition. Too many equity partners makes for a messy kitchen.
