Hi, I am looking for acquisition financing options in the UK. Wondering if people have good experience with specific lenders / contacts and of course offer good flexibility and pricing. The amount that will be required is only 450,000. Any advice or contact information would be greatly appreciated.

Why not ask business brokers? They don't make deals unless financing enable it. They can give you the pros and cons, and reality checks. Could be much more useful than anecdotal information by other people trying to find money. (I am not a broker. Never have been.)

High Street banks you're looking at maybe 3% + base, but most won't fund your typical search fund deal as they are bias towards asset heavy companies. Business acquisition focused lenders - you're looking at around atleast 5% + base or higher.
