Structuring Deals customized for your company
We specialize in structuring deals that fit the needs of our clients. We have developed a 2-layer cake structure which removes the equity. In this 2-layer structure, we replace equity with mezzanine debt while accomplishing the same funding objective as a 3-layer structure.
-
This structure is based on the EBITDA multiple of the proposed debt level and our ability to substantiate
the Company’s equity value. -
As long as the debt multiple is within a certain range and a strong case can be made for excess equity
value, mezzanine debt can be raised. - With a mezzanine loan, the company gets money that is significantly less dilutive than straight equity.
-
In exchange for paying a current interest rate of about 12%, the company is generally able to give up
only 5% to 15% of the shares as opposed to giving up over 65% of the shares with a straight equity raise. - Basically, by structuring deals in a 2-layer manner, there is no need for equity and the cost of capital decreases significantly.
- We have the ability to design other structures for either a leveraged recapitalization (partial owner cash out) or an outright sale of the business for the owner.
