OUR APPROACH TO
DEAL STRUCTURE
BOSA GLOBAL CAPITAL is willing to invest the required time, effort and capital needed to acquire businesses which suits our criteria
Provided that the risks are mutually shared. This will ultimately be reliant upon whether you are motivated in a transition of ownership.
We primarily deal with businesses that have long and stable histories of profitability. With this in mind, a typical offer from Bosa Capital will be compromised of a cash payment at closing coupled by deferred payments spread over a period of years (dependent on the strength of the cash flow) in a tax optimized manner to the seller.
We view this as a well-balanced deal structure for all parties – and which allows us more flexibility to reduce the overall acquisition requirements. This ultimately means a higher chance for you to sell your business at a fair valuation – and on terms which are far better suited to you.

HOW LONG DOES BOSA
TAKE TO CLOSE A TRANSACTION?
Once we have agreed terms in place with a business and move into an exclusivity period, we can close a transaction in approximately 45-60 days. It is during this time that BOSA GLOBAL CAPITAL will raise funds on a ‘deal by deal’ basis from its network, conduct due diligence and then proceed to final documentation in order to close the transaction.
It is important to stress that we do not wish to disrupt a company’s regular activities and as we seek to become partners with our target companies, we believe that partnerships should not be taken lightly. We prefer discussions to be thorough and not rushed.
Depending on the complexity of the opportunity, BOSA GLOBAL CAPITAL prides itself on being able to close a transaction quite quickly. Seeing that we are not a fund, we have the ability to make rapid decisions. That said, we often build relationships with entrepreneurs for many years and will close an investment when the time is right.
