Balance Sheet Restructuring
Sometimes a company falls short of its predisposed expectations and needs help realigning the existing debt structure. Throughout the balance sheet restructuring process, our professionals finesse any areas of business that require refinancing, financial restructuring, or recapitalization for immediate and future success.
Capital Raise
When situations such as corporate turnaround or intense projected growth come about in a business, there may not be capital immediately accessible to support the company. In turn, we raise the critical, supplementary funds that allow our clients to execute their plans, expand their business, and maximize enterprise value.
Refinancing
For a company in transition, it is important to maintain a debt structure that reflects the realities of its business model, sales projections, and capital requirements. Our experts assist in refinancing by optimizing your debt structure accordingly, creating a sustainable path to value for the future.
Mergers & Acquisitions
Whether representing the buyer or the seller, we provide a full range of services throughout the M&A process, from identifying buyers or sellers, to preparing or reviewing the memorandum, performing comprehensive due diligence, securing funding, structuring the transaction, and seeing it through closing.
