Buy a customer or supplier

You see the opportunity to create synergies and operational efficiencies in your supply chain, or you want to access new markets or technologies. Vertical integration can be complex and we provide experienced, forward-thinking capital to help you navigate unchartered territory.

Why it’s challenging

Inexperience with acquisitions, unproven synergies and international or intangible assets are reasons that may prevent you from accessing traditional loans. We provide financing based on cash-flow, the future potential that the efficiencies will create and the quality of management.

Our approach

We help you realize synergies and efficiencies by eliminating financial hurdles, providing flexibility and creating strong partnerships. We think outside the box.
