Debt Replacement

Your Debt Replacement Professional can provide a comprehensive range of equity and debt capital services to secure cost effective capital solutions.

The capital raising and replacement falls under three categories:

1)  Senior Secured and Unsecured Debt

Your Debt Replacement Professional will be in regular contact with the senior debt capital providers, banks and specialty lenders, giving them the ability to properly assess each resource by preferred structure, pricing, approval process, turnaround time and deliverability.

The key to structuring the right deal is finding the lender that provides the best fit to the client’s needs.

Every client has individual needs, a unique situation and requires a tailored solution.  Your Debt Replacement Professional's approach should allow them to present the most appropriate sources in the most advantageous light.

2)  Subordinated and Mezzanine Debt

Companies require subordinated debt and mezzanine financing in situations where their capital structure represents an opportunity to finance growth and acquisition requirements.

Using subordinated financing can boost debt capacity and lower overall financing cost. Your Debt Replacement Professional will be in regular contact with sources for subordinated or mezzanine debt, including second lien lenders, mezzanine specific lenders, equity capital and hedge funds.

It is important to understand the current dynamics for lending in this economic environment in order to be able to structure a competitive financing package.

3)  Equity Financing

Rather than going to public markets for capital, many midsize companies are choosing private equity sources of capital.

In order to negotiate the best terms and find the best fit, it helps to choose from a large, qualified pool of equity capital candidates. 

Your Debt Replacement Professional's goal is to market your company to a range of capital providers, then create a controlled and confidential process to deliver a range of competitive deal structures for you to choose from. 

Once you have had time to consider which deal is best, your Debt Replacement Professional will secure the financing with your preferred equity group.

Capital Raising Process

First of all, make a plan

• What is the right timing, how to tailor the process to your needs, create a step-by-step plan with timeline and goals.

Next, get ready

• Analyze your company in detail.
• Conduct in-depth due diligence up-front to minimize risk and surprises later in the process.

Put the lipstick on

Get going

• Interview the lenders and determine their willingness, motivation, experience, credibility and capability to close the deal.
