Debt financing for an acquisition in Turkey?

July 21, 2025

by a searcher from Harvard University - Harvard Business School in İstanbul, Türkiye

We are a traditional search fund covering Turkey and we are currently under exclusivity to acquire a company in the cosmetics sector in Turkey. Currently, we are exploring debt financing options for the acquisition. The company generates 27% EBIT and we are looking for an equivalent of 1.15x of senior secured debt financing at an attractive interest rate for the lender. Feel free to DM me or email me at redacted if this would be of interest to you.

Dear ^redacted‌; thanks for the mention. My colleague Fahir. I could help regarding that funding search. As Luke said; here in SF we are not that many europeans that have worked with both Banking and Private Debt. I'm able to have a quick call in order to understand what are other numbers related to the business. Not only matters the EBIT (which is quite good) and that low multiplier of 1.15x. Private lenders are comfortable far beyond that x1.15. Despite acknowledging that; there are other numbers which are relevant as well as the BS composition. Knock me up in a private message if you want to further discuss! My BR;
