UK: funding playbook for searchers?

Hi All - I’m mapping financing options for acquisitions in the UK. Looking for practical experience. - Which funding structures did you use for acquisition debt + investor equity? (bank loans, seller finance, mezzanine, equity syndicates) - Which lenders or mezz providers work well for deals below £10m? - Which family offices, syndicates or angel groups back searchers or founder-led roll-ups? - Any government or guarantee schemes you leveraged? - How did you structure vendor notes, earn-outs and equity splits? - Practical tips: typical leverage, common covenant issues, and closing timelines. Thanks. short examples and names appreciated.
