Silk Capital can assist in securing appropriate financing to fund growth, acquisitions, and refinance existing obligations.
We can assist you in balancing the cost of financing with appropriate future operating and financial flexibility. Financing may be in the form of bank debt, private placement debt with institutional investors, mezzanine debt, or private equity.
A typical capital raising transaction can involve a combination of these activities:
We invest the time required to thoroughly understand your personal and business objectives, then we develop a custom strategy designed to meet them.
Our financial model starts with a comprehensive analysis and assessment of your business, including sales and profitability, material and labor costs, current debt structure, current capitalization, and future needs. Our model contains the basic information needed by investors to evaluate investment potential and to set terms and pricing.
Our daily activity in the private debt and equity markets gives us a broad knowledge of institutional lender criteria, availability of funds, and pricing. We use this information to determine the amount and type of debt that is required to meet your needs.
When communicating with investors, it is important to present an accurate picture of a business, including its financial needs, the competitive environment, and future opportunities. Silk Capital assists you in preparing investor material, such as management presentations, financial models, and offering memorandums, to develop a compelling rationale for investing in the company.
There are typically more interested investors than you might realize. This is true whether you need debt, equity, or a bank loan. Finding the right investors for a particular situation is the fastest path to a successful transaction. Our database of institutional investors allows us to match you with investors that have an expressed interest in an industry, market, or specific type of capital.
Reaching out to investors is a complex process that involves getting the attention of institutional investors and then maintaining focus and momentum. Silk Capital is skilled at helping clients reach out to institutional investors to quickly assess their investment appetite and level of interest in a specific situation.
There are many points where a transaction is in jeopardy. The terms, structure, and pricing of a transaction might drift and deteriorate anywhere along the way. Our job is to close a transaction that meets your objectives. Silk Capital remains actively involved until the transaction closes to your satisfaction.
