Capital Raising
Companies extremely rarely finance their development only with their own capital and retained earnings, without resorting to external sources. The required external funding may assume the form of:
- debt financing (regular bank loan or issuance of debt instruments, such as bonds or commercial paper, mezzanine capital), or:
- equity financing provided by external investors.
Our best credential is the long-dated and successful involvement of the members of our team in raising bank loans to support development plans of our Clients.
Equity provided by external investors is yet another source of funding for businesses, in addition to bank loans and other debt instruments as their equivalents. Such investors may provide capital in exchange for company shares acquired in Initial Public Offerings (IPO) or Secondary Public Offerings (SPO). Alternatively, equity may be delivered in non-public transactions by venture capital/private equity funds.
Our expertise in dealing with public offerings is vastly supported by the fact that the members of our team witnessed and actively participated in setting up the foundations of the Polish capital market, being involved in some of the first successful IPOs in early 90ties. In addition, raising new equity for the company may be facilitated by our long-established, excellent working relations with Venture Capital and Private Equity funds.
