Growth Capital

Finding the right growth capital for your business is crucial for the future success of your company - whether to fund growth in sales and marketing, new product development, facility expansion, strategic acquisitions, and corporate reorganisations. The right capital partner for your business should bring more to the table than money. Green Park Partners helps you find the right capital partner by matching size, opportunity, industry focus, culture and "chemistry." We create competition for your business among multiple investors to provide you with multiple options and the best possible pricing and deal terms.

While each transaction is unique in its own right, a typical private placement process would encompass many steps including pre-marketing due diligence, development of a business plan and financial forecast, valuation and pricing, identification and initial approach of potential investors, completion and distribution of offering materials, preliminary due diligence, term sheet negotiation, final due diligence, deal structuring, documentation and closing. By implementing an organised and effective process, our professionals with significant execution capabilities work closely with our clients every step along the way to help them achieve the best results.

Recapitalisation

Green Park Partners can assist you if you are looking to adjust the ownership structure of your company without necessarily raising additional capital. Through our relationships with private equity firms, banks, and non-traditional lenders, you can access equity and debt specifically targeted for corporate recapitalisations. Whether you want to generate some liquidity from your equity, change the mix of investors, or are contemplating a management or leveraged buy-out, we help you think through the critical issues and facilitate the transaction.

Debt Restructure

Green Park Partners believes financing requirements should be dictated by operating plans, not vice versa. We can work with you to minimise the overall cost of borrowing and eliminate onerous loan terms or borrowing rates that no longer match current market levels. Your company should be able to meet its working capital requirements at a reasonable cost while maintaining the maximum amount of financial flexibility. We establish realistic capital structure objectives designed to achieve a desired outcome, such as a larger credit facility or more favourable borrowing terms.

Strategic Review

Looking over the business landscape, you see many potential opportunities for growing your company and building shareholder value. But with so many choices in sight, how do you identify the best path to follow?

Green Park Partners can help you determine the right direction. Through in-depth strategic, financial, and industry analyses, we uncover the full array of information you need to make the optimum choice for your company and its shareholders. The Green Park Partners Strategic Review goes beyond financial performance to evaluate potential growth scenarios. We analyse your market opportunity, competitive positioning and opportunities for expansion and what, if any, transactions will advance your business plan and valuation goals. We also connect you with appropriate financing sources and other resources to help make your business growth and expansion strategies a reality.

Strategic Reviews can be completed in as little as 30 days when the mandate is to offer a recommendation on a specific opportunity, but often involve a broader overview where Green Park Partners may make recommendations on group structure, sales and marketing strategies, balance sheet issues, and strategic alternatives for the business.

Valuation Analysis

We employ several methodologies in every valuation analyses, providing you with all the internal and external data needed for sound decision-making. We document our valuations in a comprehensive report, appropriate to the scope of the assignment.

Fairness Opinions

Transactions involving acquisitions, divestitures, and reorganisations often require expert opinions, typically rendered by investment bankers, as to the fairness of the transaction's financial terms. Green Park Partners provides fairness opinions to boards of directors, special committees, and other interested parties. In our due diligence, we review the same information required in performing a valuation analysis. In addition, we analyse the valuation and structure of the transaction; the form and timing of consideration; market factors; the financial, accounting, and tax implications; and many other factors, depending upon the situation. When the determination of value is part of a legal, tax, or regulatory proceeding, Green Park Partners provides experienced expert witnesses.

Financial Distress

Financial distress is often an unanticipated event. When a company transitions from a position of relative financial health to one of financial distress, the precipitating events can occur quickly and typically include one of the following:
  • Over-leveraged balance sheet
  • Covenant and/or payment defaults
  • Obsolete business model
  • Cyclical downturn
  • Volatility in raw material and energy costs
  • External shock to economy

Green Park Partners can advise the Board and work with the company's executive team to evaluate any number of strategic alternatives. Whatever the cause, all of these difficult issues can be addressed, and often the company's "distress" can be managed. With the help of an effective financial advisor experienced in distressed situations, creditors can and will often work diligently with the company to facilitate a consensual resolution.

Often that consensual resolution may involve a transaction, such as a sale of all or a portion of the business in an efficient and orderly way that preserves going-concern value and avoids the potential for the loss of substantial value through a prolonged process. Other Advisory Service
