Independent Sponsor Deal Terms Survey 2025

Europe's Independent Sponsor Market:
Shedding light on deal terms

The Independent Sponsor model continues to develop across Europe, with well over 500 Independent Sponsors now active across the continent and new entrants joining every week.

However, aspects of the model, particularly the key economic terms agreed between investors and Independent Sponsors, remain relatively opaque.  

In response, Addleshaw Goddard’s International Independent Sponsor team is delighted to present our inaugural Independent Sponsor Deal Terms Survey.

Our report offers the first comprehensive look at deal terms in the European market - drawing on transactions completed in 2023 and 2024 - and contains data on deal sizes and pricing, sponsor economics, abort arrangements and much more.

Please get in touch with any of our International Independent Sponsor team contacts listed here, or your usual AG Independent Sponsor contact, if you would like to discuss more.
