Financings & Recaps
The private equity and debt markets have become increasingly more accessible to emerging middle market businesses, presenting a host of attractive financing alternatives. Capstone assists companies with securing growth and acquisition capital, leveraging our established relationships with leading venture capital and private equity firms.
We possess deep expertise in recapitalization financings. These transactions typically involve a significant amount of shareholder liquidity (when desired), but also help companies forge long-term equity capital partnerships to build management teams, fuel growth and pursue potential acquisitions. We work with companies to create a capital strategy and engineer the optimal long-term capital structure for the business across various sources of available capital, including the following:
- Private Equity - preferred and common equity for established high growth companies
- Venture Financing - earlier stage equity to fund growth
- Mezzanine Debt - subordinated debt with PIK options and equity warrants
- Bridge Financing - short-term debt financing with equity enhancers
- Senior Secured Debt - term debt secured by the assets of the business
- Senior Unsecured Debt - term debt leveraged against the future cash flows
