The deregulation of the water industry in recent years has given companies greater control over their water supply, enabling them to save on their utility bills. At the same time there is greater focus on saving water for environmental reasons. I look forward to working with our loyal team to take the firm to the next stage of its development .” SME Loans is one of the few funds able to support the management buy-out of a smaller firm using solely debt funding. Andy Heaton of Mercia added: “Emma is a very impressive leader who has built a strong team. We are pleased to be able to back the buy-out of this successful family business in a deal that will help secure its future and the jobs of its staff, and position it for future growth.” Paul Grace of YBFA provided fundraising advice to the company. He said: “It’s been a pleasure to work with Emma and structure the funding for the management buy-out. Since we first met, her passion and enthusiasm has shone through, and I have full confidence the business will go from strength to strength. Mercia demonstrated a thorough understanding of the business and provided a unique funding structure which enabled the buy-out to take place while allowing sufficient cash to be reinvested for future growth.”
