Corporate Finance / Capital Structure Optimization
The proper capitalization of a company – created through newly-sourced and redeployed capital – can allow for equity risk diversification, improved cash flow and accelerated growth, if desired.
A properly designed capital structure will eliminate or lessen personal guarantees and associated risks; improve cash flow through the elimination of high-cost debt, excessive debt-service requirements and/or onerous prepayment penalties; provide capital for and lessen restrictions on capital expenditures and growth; lessen or remove financial and operating covenants and restrictions; and finally, reduce the number of capital providers with a “say” in corporate matters.
The professionals of Investment Asset Management Ltd. have a successful track record of identifying and procuring the appropriate capital type with structure and terms that are consistent with a company’s short and long-term objectives including senior debt; sale-leaseback financing; subordinated/mezzanine debt and equity.
