by a searcher from University of Warwick

Hi everyone,

I am looking for information on bank funding for SMB acquisitions for self funded search in the UK. 

The US market focussed around SBA loans which do not exist in the UK so keen to understand the UK funding model / alternatives?

I’m looking at a series of small acquisitions. Service B2C businesses with small asset base so will be based on future cash flows. Major banks uninterested in early stages - any other recommendations for UK?
