Acquisition Finance for E-Commerce Business in UK

by a searcher from Harvard University

1 year ago

Hi all,

I have a great opportunity to acquire an e-commerce business based in the UK.

Based on the domicile, I believe that it wouldn't qualify for SBA financing.

Does anyone here have experience with the Enterprise Finance Guarantee (EFG) in the UK, or are there any lenders on Searchfunder that are EFG accredited? 

EFG aside, does anyone have experience with acquisition finance options for an American looking to buy a UK-based business?

Much appreciated

Hi Adam - do you mind sharing what you ended up with here (if the acquisition closed)? Looking to acquire a UK based business as well (not ecommerce) but trying to understand optionality
