Seller Note - UK

by a searcher from Columbia University - Columbia Business School

Hi there,

We are looking to get a feel for what the standard terms for a seller note in the UK/Europe are (interest, PIK?, term, % EV, etc). We understand this varies case by case (incl. sizes, etc) but keen to learn what the community things about it. 

Any thoughts on this topic?

Many thanks in advance!
BR,
J

Hi Joan, the range is very wide (we have seen from 10 to 40%). But the term and interest seems to generally fall between 3-5 years and 5-7% interest. Let me know if you would like to connect to discuss further, always interested in meeting new searchers in the UK.

Hi All, I've been wanting to understand the same about various deal structures so I've set up a "form" to collate information confidentially (an email is not required) - I'm happy to share my findings with all who contribute. You can find the form here:
