Conduit Capital
Finance, introduced properly
Access to the right lenders, on terms that work for you.
Conduit Capital helps UK owner managed businesses raise finance for a specific purpose. Whether that's funding an acquisition, supporting growth, or restructuring existing debt. We work with owners who want the right funding on the right terms, without spending months managing the lender market themselves.
What we help with
Acquisition funding.
Capital to buy another business, whether a competitor, a bolt-on, or a management buy in. We structure the debt and equity components so the deal stands up commercially and leaves the acquired business with room to perform.
Growth capital.
Funding to expand — new sites, new products, new markets, or the hires needed to deliver them. This is for owners who have a clear plan and need the capital to execute it without giving away more of the business than they need to.
Refinancing.
Replacing existing facilities with better ones, usually to reduce cost, release capital, or restructure around a change in the business. Worth considering whenever current arrangements no longer reflect where the business actually is.
Asset finance.
Funding against plant, machinery, vehicles, or equipment — either to acquire new assets or release capital tied up in existing ones. Useful when cash is better deployed elsewhere in the business.
Invoice finance.
Working capital released against your debtor book, closing the gap between billing and being paid. Most relevant for businesses with long payment cycles or those scaling quickly and feeling the cash flow strain.
Succession funding.
Capital to support a management buy out, family transition, or partial exit. Often the mechanism that lets an owner step back while the next generation of leadership takes the business forward.
How it works
We start with a conversation. The aim is to understand the business, the purpose of the funding, and what terms would actually work for you. Not to produce a pitch deck before we know what we're pitching.
From there, we approach the lenders in our network most likely to fund the deal on sensible terms. We don't send your information to everyone and see what sticks. We target a small group who we know have appetite for businesses like yours at this stage.
Once offers come in, we negotiate terms on your behalf and manage the process through due diligence to drawdown. You stay focused on running the business while we handle the funder, the legal documentation, and the conditions precedent.
Why use Conduit
We know the lender market — who's active, who's pricing competitively, and who'll actually deliver rather than withdraw late in the process. Because we're engaged by you and not the lender, we negotiate harder on the terms that matter: pricing, covenants, security, and flexibility. It also saves you several months of conversations you didn't want to have in the first place.
