A vision shared
Even the most successful of entrepreneurs can have difficulty raising funds for new business acquisitions. Sometimes, it seems, a successful track record and an imaginative business proposition isn't enough to overcome the barriers set down by some funders.
Bank of Scotland Corporate is different. We've developed excellent relationships with some of the country's leading entrepreneurs because we share their vision and their belief in challenging convention.
Funding for significant deals
Our team funds significant acquisitions or corporate transactions for entrepreneurs, emerging entrepreneurs, high net worth individuals, clubs/syndicates and corporates. We also create unique debt and equity packages for listed businesses to fund acquisitions or improve balance sheet efficiency.
We provide the funds, you stay in control
Our team provides a distinctly new approach to acquisition funding. Combining both debt and equity, we create truly one-off funding solutions for every single deal we're involved with. Senior debt, mezzanine debt, loan stock and equity are all likely to feature in a deal; the mix will all depend on the opportunities and the challenges at hand. One thing is certain – we support your vision.
Sharing risks and rewards
But the team does not just focus on funding the purchase. We continue to work in partnership throughout the relationship. Along with the funds, we bring the expertise of a team of dealmakers with extensive experience on high value, high profile acquisitions. We will offer our advice and our insights, and ensure that you remain in control to make the kind of decisions that have made you successful.
This way, there are no defined terms. We see our partnership as a co-investment in your vision and approach, the risks and rewards shared between us.
Every second counts
Integrated Finance: Partnerships may seem a new concept, but they are not without precedent. Since 2000, Bank of Scotland Corporate has financed more than £7bn of Integrated Finance deals. We invest for the long-term, helping our partners to build value into their businesses
In business, timing is crucial to successful deal-making. So we don't waste a second: we can make decisions exceptionally quickly. That's the beauty of having all our decision makers under one roof; with all the funding and equity investments coming from a single source.
