Business Financing for Acquisitions, Growth, and Transitions
AJS Capital arranges and advises on business financing — not real estate financing. We help buyers and owners structure capital for acquisitions, buyouts, growth, equipment, and working capital.
Note: We do not arrange or broker real estate financing
This is Business Finance, Not Property Finance
Most people think “commercial financing” means real estate.
That’s not what we do.
We focus exclusively on:
Financing businesses
Financing acquisitions
Financing transitions and growth
If your primary asset is a building, we’re not the right fit.
If your focus is cash flow, operations, and enterprise value, you’re in the right place.
Common Financing Situations We Help With
Business Acquisitions
Buying an existing business, partner buy-ins, or management buyouts.
Growth & Expansion Capital
Funding for hiring, inventory, new locations, or scaling operations.
Equipment & Asset Purchases
Equipment financing, leasing, and capital expenditures.
Working Capital
Cash flow smoothing, growth capital, and operational liquidity.
Receivables & Factoring
Unlocking cash tied up in AR.
Shareholder & Partnership Transactions
Buyouts, restructures, and ownership changes.
Financing is Not a Side Detail. It’s Part of the Deal
In acquisitions and buyouts, financing is not something you “figure out later.”
It affects:
What you can pay
How the deal is structured
Whether it closes at all
Because AJS Capital works on both transactions and financing, we structure deals that are:
Financeable
Defensible
And actually closable
This is one of the most common reasons deals fail — and one of the biggest sources of leverage when done properly.
We Don’t Push Products. We Structure Capital
Bank and credit union financing
Government-backed programs (where applicable)
Asset-based lending
Equipment financing & leasing
Mezzanine and structured debt
Vendor take-back financing
Private capital
Equity and partner capital
We look at the deal first, then engineer the capital stack.
How It Works
This is not a rate-shopping exercise. It’s a structuring and execution process.
Steps:
Understand the Transaction or Need
Assess Financeability & Structure
Design the Capital Stack
Position the Deal to Lenders or Investors
Navigate Conditions and Close
Good Fit If

You care about structure, not just rate
Not a Fit If
You’re financing a building or real estate project
