Service: Private Market Financings

Knowledge of Capital Markets

Our professionals have intimate knowledge of the capital markets and are well-versed in advising businesses that are undergoing shareholder recapitalizations, refinancing existing debt, raising equity capital to support growth, or raising debt financing to consummate an acquisition.

Efficient Capital Raising Process

By running an efficient capital raising process, we help to ensure our clients achieve their financing goals in a timely manner and at attractive pricing. We can leverage our extensive network of senior lenders, mezzanine investors, and equity providers to ensure a market clearing process. Our professionals are apt at anticipating and identifying potential financing issues early, which enables them to remedy the issues before they can result in a delay of closing. We do this by performing extensive advisor due diligence before approaching the investor community.

Thoughtful Marketing Materials

In preparing marketing materials on our client’s behalf, our professionals put themselves “in the shoes” of a potential investor. This allows us to prepare materials that answer the questions that investors will be asking. We understand what investors want to see and make sure our materials show it. We also understand that no business model is perfect. Rather than concealing imperfections from the investing community, we believe that disclosing and proper positioning of potential issues is the way to ensure a timely closing with no surprises.

Extensive Quantitative Analysis

We are diligent in preparing detailed, fully integrated financial models to optimize of our client’s capital structure. Our quantitative approach helps to ensure that pricing and covenant levels are negotiated to levels that allow proper cushion and financial flexibility post-transaction.
