I'm recently under LOI with a business in the construction industry in Canada (40-year history, consistently profitable). I'm looking for suggestions on what banks I should consider to finance the deal.
Some context that may be helpful:
The business is doing ~$2.5mm of EBITDA
Between my capital and the Vendor note, there will be >$5mm in "equity."
I won't do a personal guarantee (and given the amount of my equity going into the deal, I shouldn't need to)
Looking for about $7mm in debt between a small operating line and acquisition financing
So far, I have engaged RBC, ATB and BDC. They've all demonstrated interest and are working on terms at this stage. Are there other banks I should be discussing with? Does anyone have experience with any of the credit unions?
Suggestions? Sr Lenders in Canada (~$7mm of debt)
