Hello,
We're currently evaluating an acquisition in Canada in the ~$5M range and exploring financing options with a structure of approximately 60% senior debt and 40% vendor participation.
For those who have completed similar transactions:
- Which lenders in Canada were most receptive to low-equity structures?
- Were you able to close with minimal cash in, and if so, how was the deal structured?
- Any specific contacts or teams you would recommend reaching out to?
I’d really appreciate any insights based on your experience.
Thank you in advance,
James Nguyen
