The Multiple Co. Story.

The Multiple Co. grew from years of helping clients navigate the finance required to acquire a business or property through Vive Financial Advisers.

The more acquisitions we worked on, the clearer the gap became: buyers needed more than someone to arrange the loan.

They needed someone in their corner to assess whether the deal was viable, develop the right acquisition strategy, navigate the process and structure finance around the business and its cashflow.

So we created The Multiple Co.

A business acquisition advisory firm built for buyers, bringing together deal assessment, acquisition strategy and finance.

Because buying a business isn't just about getting the deal funded. It's about getting the deal right.

Business brokers represent the seller. Banks assess whether they want to lend. Accountants and lawyers play critical roles in executing the transaction.

But who is looking at the whole picture from the buyer's perspective?

That's where we come in.

We assess the deal first and structure the finance second — because the two decisions are intrinsically linked. How you fund a business can ultimately determine how well it performs once you own it.

Buy the right business. Structure the right deal. Get the right finance.

Who we are.

What we do & don't do.

✅ What we do:

  • Deal Viability Reviews:
    An independent, pre-due-diligence risk screen on businesses acquisitions between $500K–$20M.

  • Finance:
    Deal structuring, serviceability and sensitivity modelling, and arranging finance through our panel of banks, non-bank lenders and private funders

  • Business Debt Restructure:
    An independent review of existing business debt and whether refinancing would strengthen the position

❌ What we don't do:

  • Lend money ourselves:
    We broker access to a panel of lenders, we are not a bank or a funder.

  • Run legal or commercial due diligence:
    That's your lawyer and accountant, and we work alongside them, not in place of them.
