Frequently asked questions about buyouts,
mergers & acquisitions

What is M&A financing?

M&A financing provides the capital needed to acquire, merge with, or buy out another business. It’s structured to support strategic growth, ownership transitions, or consolidation without depleting cash reserves.

What types of M&A transactions can be financed?

We finance a range of transactions including management buyouts (MBOs), partner buy-ins, corporate acquisitions, roll-ups, and mergers—whether for expansion, consolidation, or succession planning.

Who qualifies for M&A financing?

Businesses with strong assets, predictable cash flow, or experienced management teams are typically good candidates. We work with sponsor-backed, privately owned, and mid-market companies.

How is specialty M&A financing different from bank loans?

Specialty lenders offer faster decision-making, greater flexibility, and customized deal structures—especially helpful when speed, creativity, or complexity is key.

Can financing be used for both acquisition and post-deal needs?

Yes. We can structure financing to cover not just the transaction, but also integration, working capital, equipment upgrades, or growth initiatives following the deal.

Do I need to give up equity to secure M&A financing?

Not with our solutions. Many of our clients use non-dilutive capital like ABL or A/R financing, preserving ownership while securing the funds needed to close the deal.

What makes eCapital a strong M&A financing partner?

Our team brings deep experience, fast execution, and flexible capital—from $5M to $150M—combined with a commitment to long-term, hands-on partnership through every business cycle.
