B&C assists with £543m acquisition of IPF by BasePoint

10/02/2026

We’re delighted to have helped International Personal Finance PLC with its £543m all-cash takeover by BasePoint Capital LLC, with the acquisition expected to complete in the third quarter of 2026.

The Board of IPF, a global financial services company playing a vital role in the lives of millions of people by providing unsecured, affordable credit and great-value insurance products in a responsible way, unanimously recommended the offer by IPF Parent Holdings Ltd, a newly formed vehicle for BasePoint’s acquisition, which will be subject to shareholder approval.

IPF’s Chair Stuart Sinclair said: “Whilst the board continues to believe in the strategy and long-term prospects of IPF on a standalone basis, we recognise that the acquisition allows IPF shareholders to monetise their entire investment for cash at a fair price. We believe that the business will benefit from BasePoint’s ownership and its commitment to fulfil IPF’s purpose of building a better world through financial inclusion.”

Our thanks to the company and legal advisors Addleshaw Goddard.
