Private equity

Flexible Funding
for Strategic Growth

Private equity finance is an alternative funding option for clients looking to raise capital for business growth, investment opportunities, or asset acquisition, especially when traditional lenders aren’t an option.
At Clear Finance, we help connect eligible clients with private equity investors and family offices who are looking to invest in strong opportunities outside the standard lending system.
Whether you’re expanding a business, acquiring a new asset, or need capital for a complex transaction, our team can help structure a private equity solution that works for both sides.

What Is Private Equity Finance?

Private equity finance is a form of funding where capital is provided in exchange for equity in a business, project or investment rather than a traditional loan repayment structure.

It’s often used when:
  • A business is scaling and needs growth capital
  • A borrower has a strong opportunity but doesn’t meet bank policy
  • The project requires a more flexible structure than traditional finance allows
Clear Finance works as an intermediary to help you:
  • Understand if private equity is right for your situation
  • Present your opportunity clearly to potential investors
  • Manage the process from introduction to negotiation and deal structure

Who It’s For

Private equity funding may be suitable for:
  • We work with private lenders and family offices, not just banks or non-bank institutions
  • We assess the full picture including your asset position, not just income
  • We act quickly, with flexible funding timelines
  • We offer short to medium-term loans designed to stabilise your situation
  • We help you transition back to mainstream lending over time

Why Private Equity?

Traditional lenders are often bound by rigid policies, slow processes, and a low appetite for risk, even when the opportunity is strong.
Private equity allows for:
  • More flexible deal structures
  • Faster access to capital
  • Willingness to assess higher-risk or unconventional deals
  • Partnership-based approach, not just transactional lending

Our Role

At Clear Finance, we:
  • Assess whether your goals are suited to private equity
  • Identify suitable investor partners or family offices
  • Help present your proposal professionally and credibly
  • Assist in negotiating terms and managing the deal process

Frequently Asked Questions

Is private equity a loan?

Not always. Private equity usually involves capital provided in exchange for a share of ownership or future return, rather than fixed loan repayments.

Do I need to give up control of my business?

Not necessarily. Terms vary and can be structured to retain your majority stake. We help negotiate fair and workable terms that support your goals.

How is this different from private lending?

Private lending is typically a short-term loan secured by assets. Private equity is more of a partnership offering capital in exchange for equity, often used for business or investment growth.

Is private equity funding right for me?

It depends on your goals, timeline and current financial position. Book a discovery call with our team and we’ll help you assess your options.
