Unlevered Buyout 

Financial buyers and private equity firms use debt to fund acquisitions, which creates pressure to cut costs, meet lender requirements, and exit quickly. We don’t use debt, which means our companies can focus on growth.

It also means deals close faster and companies can immediately invest in growth rather than focus on paying down debt. 

At Tide Rock, we use all cash to buy companies.

  • No financing contingencies
  • No debt added to the business
  • No third-party lender approvals or covenants
  • Cash available to GROW the companies

    • Why It Matters

    Because of our unlevered buyout model, business owners experience a faster, simpler process and leadership teams can focus on growth.

    For Business Owners

    • Simpler, faster deal process
    • Fewer third parties involved
    • Lower risk of surprises late in the deal

    For Leadership Teams

    • No pressure to cut costs 
    • Capital available for operational improvements
    • Focus on growing the business, not on bank covenants

    For Intermediaries

    • Higher confidence in close
    • Fewer hurdles or roadblocks during diligence
    • More flexible deal terms
