$45M | Acquisition of US quick-service restaurant chain

KitsWest Capital advised a Canadian acquirer on the buy-side acquisition and financing of a US-based quick-service restaurant chain. The mandate combined M&A advisory with arrangement of acquisition financing structured to support the cross-border purchase. Services included target evaluation, transaction structuring, due diligence coordination, financing arrangement with senior lenders, and negotiation through closing. This $45M cross-border transaction is representative of the buy-side M&A and capital advisory work KitsWest provides for owner-managed and private equity-backed acquirers pursuing acquisitions in Canada and the United States.
