Capital Raising

Equity, Private Credit & Investor Capital

Selecting an investment instrument that reflects the ownership and cash-flow objectives.

Understanding The Mandate

What capital is required, what will it fund, and what control or return expectations are acceptable?

Investment Banking & Capital Raising

Debt is not the only means of funding a project or expansion. Sponsors may want to retain control, release capital from an existing asset or bring specialist investors into a defined stage of growth. Those objectives can point to equity, preferred capital, mezzanine structures or private credit, each with different rights and constraints.

AFII reviews the use of proceeds, projected business performance, sponsor participation and investors' requirements before recommending a capital-raising route. Financial modelling, investment materials and discussions with prospective capital providers must represent downside cases and governance consequences, not just the headline valuation.

The Issues That Matter

What The Structure
Needs To Address.

Each mandate needs a different balance of structure, commercial judgement and execution. These themes explain the practical issues that usually shape the work.

1

Capital with a purpose

Acquisition funding, development equity and balance-sheet reinforcement ask different things of incoming capital.

2

Align investor and sponsor rights

Distribution waterfalls, covenants, reserved matters, dilution and exit rights need clear attention from the beginning.

3

Prepare a credible investment case

The assumptions and supporting information used in financial models should remain traceable throughout diligence and negotiations.

A Practical Perspective

Work From The
Underlying Facts.

Nothing replaces the review of contracts, financial information and the particular circumstances of the borrower, project or investment. Each engagement remains specific to the transaction, counterparties and jurisdiction involved.
