Structured Debt Advisory With a Defined Scope

Middle market debt transactions frequently require more than a lender introduction. The financing request must be sized correctly, structured around sustainable repayment capacity, supported by an appropriate security package and presented in a form that institutional lenders can underwrite.

FG Capital Advisors offers three defined engagement levels covering the principal stages of a professional debt process: structuring, lender preparation, and full placement and execution.

Select the engagement required, submit the transaction file and proceed to FG Capital Advisors' bank payment instructions.
