Mezzanine Debt: A hybrid financing option that combines debt and equity, offering higher returns to investors but typically subordinate to senior debt, providing companies with additional capital for growth or acquisitions.
Unitranche Financing: A single debt facility that combines elements of senior and subordinated debt, simplifying the capital structure and reducing intercreditor complexities in leveraged buyouts or acquisitions.
Distressed Debt Investing: Acquiring debt instruments of financially troubled companies at a discounted price, with the aim of gaining control or influencing the restructuring process for potential profitability.
Direct Lending: Providing financing directly to businesses without the involvement of traditional banks, offering companies a flexible and customized debt solution tailored to their specific needs.
Venture Capital: Investing in early-stage companies with high growth potential, typically in the technology or innovation sectors, in exchange for equity ownership to support their development and expansion.
Growth Equity: Investing in established companies with a proven track record, focusing on accelerating their growth through capital infusion and strategic support while retaining minority ownership.
Leveraged Buyouts (LBOs): Acquiring a company using a significant amount of borrowed funds, often with the target company's assets serving as collateral, with the goal of restructuring and improving its profitability.
Recapitalization: Restructuring a company's capital structure, often by replacing existing debt with new debt or equity, to enhance financial stability, optimize balance sheets, or facilitate growth.
