Non-Bank Debt Partners for Cash-Flow-Based Software Acquisitions?

by a searcher from Carleton University in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

I'm looking to partner with experienced capital raisers or advisory groups who have strong networks of non-bank lenders, private credit funds, and family offices that provide cash-flow-based acquisition financing (senior, unitranche, mezzanine, or revenue-based). The goal is to collaborate with partners who can help structure and raise deal-specific debt capital for software acquisitions in the $15-30M EV range, typically alongside equity investors. I'm particularly focused on non-bank financing partners that underwrite based on business performance and recurring cash flow, not personal credit or hard assets. If you or your firm regularly source debt for independent sponsors or PE-backed deals, I’d love to connect and explore ways to work together.

We tried a raise like that several years ago. It was a very frustrating year. Try the debt platforms like Cerebro.
