Acquisition finance
When the deal is a business sale.
With the vendor's approval, the seller's broker sends a pack for the buyer's lender: earnings on a lender's basis, each figure with its source and the documents behind it. A finance broker on Batonford brings it straight into a new loan deal.

From the seller's broker
The business broker drafts a pack for the buyer's lender from the same evidence as the IM, on a lender's basis: no owner's wages added back. The vendor approves it, and it goes only to a buyer who has signed the NDA.
- Normalised EBITDA as a lender reads it
- Every figure cited to the vendor's documents
- Approved by the vendor before it's shared
- No views on the credit: the lender decides
