The fully updated edition of Speechley on Acquisition Finance offers a practical UK guide to acquisition, from traditional management buy-out transactions to more complex multilayered UK acquisitions financing and public bid-financing. For each scenario, the book provides a full picture of the transaction structure and process, from the initial financial and commercial stages, through the due diligence process and the legal documentation process, to funding and completion. The book also explores the documentation process - including a detailed look at the various legal documents required - and the issues which typically arise during this stage of the deal.
