Private Equity Sell-Side Advisory
What is a Holdco Facility?
A Holdco Facility is a funding line raised at the holding company level, rather than at the operating company (OpCo), to finance multiple acquisitions under one strategic umbrella. This structure allows acquirers to:
Maintain operational flexibility at subsidiary level
Reduce refinancing complexity for each add-on
Centralise financial and reporting obligations
Improve speed and scalability of acquisitions
Optimise capital efficiency across the group
Ideal for private equity-backed strategies and aggressive roll-ups, Holdco structures are a core tool for executing scalable buy-and-build programmes.
