The credit facility behind
LTV's acquisition engine.
We're an AI-first acquisition company. We buy profitable internet businesses at 2–5× EBITDA, rewire them around AI, and compound cash flows across a diversified portfolio. We're opening a $10M secured credit facility to deploy against a live pipeline of 40+ qualified targets.
Great 0→1 operators. We take them 1→10.
The best acquisition targets are built by operators who nailed product-market fit but hit a ceiling scaling it. We acquire at 2–5× EBITDA, keep them in seat with rolled equity, and plug them into our growth engine: AI-first ops, direct credit lines with Meta and Google, and a 20-year digital network that unlocks distribution overnight.
We acquired a 70% stake in a small digital business. No turnaround, no pivot. Just the LTV playbook applied with discipline.
Paid traffic at scale
Pre-approved credit lines with Meta and Google let us scale winning campaigns overnight, with no cash-flow throttle, no float risk.
Technology rebuild
Core site stack rewritten for speed, conversion, and SEO. Page-load, Core Web Vitals, and crawl budget, all fixed in the first 90 days.
Aggressive BD
20+ years of relationships in digital unlock distribution, partnerships, and channel deals that no first-time operator can match.
AI-first by default
LTV is an AI-first company. Every acquisition gets rewired around AI in content, support, ops, engineering, and sales. In practice, that means 2–4× throughput at a fraction of the headcount, from month one.
Why now
Profitable sub-$10M ARR digital businesses sell at 2–5× EBITDA because institutional buyers won't touch them, local buyers can't finance them, and the founders who built them don't have the playbook to scale them. We sit in that gap, and it's getting wider.
Why LTV can scale them
AI-first operating stack. Direct credit lines with Meta and Google. A 20-year rolodex of operators, partners, and channels. Every acquisition plugs into infrastructure most buyers spend a decade trying to build.
Why debt fits
Cash-flowing assets growing at 10×+ yields on cost are tailor-made for structured credit. Equity stays tight, returns amplify, and lenders get first charge on real, monitorable cash flows, not venture bets.
Sample deal economics.
One of our in-flight acquisitions, anonymised. Every deal we underwrite lands within this envelope, or we don't do it.
Representative Transaction
Why the math works.
We acquire a majority stake (70%), keep the CEO and CTO in seat with meaningful rollover equity, and structure 60% cash at close with 40% earned out over 18 months. The seller is paid out of the cash the business already generates.
The facility funds the close. Debt service is covered 2× over from day one by the acquired EBITDA, before any optimisation. Every operational improvement widens coverage further.
One facility. Two tranches.
A single master agreement with a senior tranche for acquisition cost and a stretch tranche for post-close value creation. Blended cost of capital sits in the high single digits; both tranches are cross-collateralised against the full portfolio.
Acquisition Credit Line
Growth & Bridge Facility
We underwrite like credit investors.
Lenders don't get paid by upside, they get paid by being right about the downside. Every element of LTV is built around that reality.
Portfolio, not deal
5 to 10 acquisitions per facility vintage. Your risk is diversified across verticals, geographies, and operators from day one.
Cross-collateralisation
Every asset in the portfolio backstops every drawdown. Your weakest deal is supported by your strongest.
Cash-flow underwriting
We only acquire assets with 3+ years of audited (or audit-ready) positive cash flow. No turnarounds, no pre-revenue, no hope.
Operator continuity
Sellers keep skin in the game through rollover equity and earnouts. Key-person insurance on every retained operator.
Sponsor capital plus $1M reserve
LTV contributes 10–20% equity per deal. On top of that, $1M sits at the holdco today as a portfolio-level cash reserve, available on day one before any lender takes a hit.
Market-tested pricing
$500K senior facility already signed at 11%, drawable on demand, undrawn until the in-flight acquisition closes. Validates that lenders can underwrite this thesis at this rate today.
Operational leverage
Shared finance, legal, marketing, and engineering across the portfolio. AI-first stack means margins expand post-close, they don't compress.
Transparent by design.
Lenders see what we see. Full portfolio reporting cadence from the first drawdown, with direct data room access for authorised facility participants.
