Raising finance for any purchase is never easy, but the current climate makes raising large amounts of cash particularly difficult. With banks very risk averse, finding £100,000 + loans at a reasonable rate is a struggle. The main way out of the challenge is to recognise that risk is the concern and to build your proposal for finance is a way that emphasises risk management. If you can demonstrate a strong track record in business that will also help, as will an indication of thorough due diligence.

Getting connected with the right advisors is invaluable. Not only do these people have the right connections, they also show that you are a serious trade buyer. If you are only willing to work with the best, you show serious intent and a will to succeed.

Here is a piece on finance for buying a business from an Australian perspective. It is by Pearl Sethi, who seems to know her stuff.

One of the major concerns facing anyone looking to purchase a business is how they will raise the necessary finance. This has been made even more difficult due to the global recession that is currently taking place, so raising the necessary capital may become somewhat of a problem.Banks and financial institutions are increasingly hesitant to lend out money no matter how good the business proposal may look on paper or how successful the company has been in the past.

A large sum of money to be invested for a business,arranging,investing everything should be wisely done so that a safe & sound business can be chosen & such hard arranged money can be safely/wisely used.

Before Buying a Business, Valuation and Purchase/ Sale Analysis should be done, So if you’re thinking about buying or selling an operating business. think about Valuing the business & dont completely rely on brokers or seller’s estimate as to what a business is worth. Remember that buying a business is fundamentally an investment and consequently the business is worth only as much as its ability to generate profits for you based on how much money you must put into it. If you are going to work in the business as most people do, then the business should also pay you a fair wage in addition to the profits. The best way to determine a business’s value is to work backwards from the available profits that a seller can prove.

The total value and therefore the business’s selling price must include all closing costs, assets, transfer and franchise fees, etc. Remember; a business is worth only as much as its ability to produce profits.

Also, other factors affect the valuation/selling price of a business such as the time period for payoff of the purchase price, the interest rate of the financing, the anticipated taxes, and other factors, affect the price you can afford to pay for the business.
