Raising debt and equity for $25M EV

Hi, I stumbled upon a larger deal than expected while searching. I’m putting together an LOI and I have confidence in the asset / operational plan I will put in place. However, I am less familiar with capital raising in this part of the market. Does anyone have best practices or contacts for raising 8 figures of both debt and equity? For example, lists of Family office / SBIC / commercial lenders / PE firms focused on this part of the market?

I am working on a similar size deal in Turkey. The financing comes through a combination of not buying 100 pct of the company, vendor financing, debt and equity. I would recommend breaking up the entire financing into different pockets.

Hey, I created this lender snapshot for a select group of capital partners I work with. It should give you a good sense as to what we can get financed. redacted Feel free to reach out at redacted with any questions.
