Important Disclosure. Securities activities are conducted under a chaperone arrangement with a U.S. registered broker-dealer. This is marketing material, not a public offer. Any commitment depends on counterparty approvals, KYC and sanctions screening, and definitive documents.
Equity Bridge Finding for Business Acquisitions
Close on schedule with committed equity capacity while permanent equity or a recap is arranged. We operate an execution-first, chaperoned placement that prioritizes speed, conditionality discipline, and term sheet control. The objective is simple: certainty of funds and a clean path to the takeout.
What We Place
Backstop equity commitments, PIPE style standby equity, co-invest programs, and subscription or capital call lines coordinated with fund counsel.
Why It Works
Short lender and sponsor lists, fast NDAs and data room launch, structured Q&A, and a comparative grid across pricing, rights, and conditionality.
Speed With Control
Clear funding mechanics at signing and closing, practical MAC language, and portability to the permanent equity once diligence stabilizes.
Aligned Economics
Success-based fees with a modest work fee credited at close. No consulting retainers.
Service Scope
Structures
Backstop equity, standby or PIPE commitments, stapled co-invest, side-by-side club equity, and subscription or capital call lines.
Funding Mechanics
Availability at signing and closing, escrow and funds flow, conditions precedent control, and cure periods that reflect diligence reality.
Governance & Rights
Observer or limited board rights scaled to tenor, information and most favored nation provisions, and practical consent frameworks.
Intercreditor Alignment
Debt equity coordination across baskets, leakage, and cash controls so bridge equity does not block the takeout.
Takeout Path
Replacement rights, portability, and timeline to permanent equity, dividend recap, or strategic sale.
Documentation Readiness
Term sheet redlines, definitions and covenants, closing checklists, and deliverable owners with dates that lenders accept.
Equity Bridge Instruments
