Securing finance

Finding the right finance partners for your business can be tricky. Your funding needs will change as your business grows and you will need to ensure that your structures allow for this change. 

At Gateley Legal we work with a wide range of funders and can help you to find the best finance partner for you at each stage of development, including:

• equity and venture debt funders providing early stage and accelerator funding solutions;
• UK and international banks and private debt funds providing term and working capital finance;
• providers of asset-based lending and trade finance; and
• Government sponsored regional finance providers across a number of sectors.

Finance documents are complex and extensive for even the most basic facilities and will usually require security to be given over the business assets and sometimes extend to stakeholder guarantees. Funding to support business investment or acquisitions will come with more extensive undertakings and financial covenants to monitor performance against agreed plans and can be daunting to negotiate.

Our deep understanding of market practice and the different funding solutions available means that we can help you to navigate the documents, understand your commitments and reach the best possible outcome for you and your business.
