Step 4: From Letter of Intent to Closing

Due Diligence  
Due diligence
is a rigorous 30-day review of the business and includes a detailed analysis of accounting history and practices, operating practices, customer and supplier references, management references and market reviews. The due diligence process is managed by a Hadley Capital partner with the assistance of third party advisors such as accountants.
Financing   Hadley Capital has the
committed capital
required to complete acquisitions. But, in nearly all cases, we use some form of
debt financing
to supplement our equity capital. The debt financing process includes identifying lenders interested in partnering with Hadley Capital to complete the acquisition. Hadley Capital maintains a large Rolodex of lenders that we partner with to complete acquisitions.
Closing   The final step in the acquisition process is the legal documentation and funding step. Upon completion of the legal process, the acquisition funds are wired to the seller and the acquisition is complete. When the deal is finally done, we can celebrate the beginning of our mutually beneficial and profitable future together.
