Capital Raising · Debt Advisory
Capital for complex transactions.
BCSI advises, arranges and places debt capital for companies facing a refinancing, acquisition, ownership transition, working-capital requirement or special situation—and remains involved through closing.
The practice
Refinancing is a BCSI specialty.
Replacing an existing facility is rarely just a search for a lower rate. BCSI evaluates the company’s operating model, cash flow, collateral, capital structure and strategic objectives, then builds a financing process around the structure the business actually requires.
BCSI can act as advisor, arranger or placement agent, depending on the mandate and the client’s needs. We negotiate term sheets and covenants and remain directly involved through lender diligence, documentation and closing.
Mandate profile
Financing range and capabilities.
| Financing | Typical mandate range |
|---|---|
| Bridge facilities | Starting at $1 million |
| Term debt | $20 million to $500 million |
| Asset-based and off-balance-sheet facilities | $25 million to $1 billion |
Structures include senior secured, cash-flow and asset-based facilities, as well as unitranche, mezzanine and subordinated capital. The appropriate instrument is determined by the transaction—not selected in advance.
Capital access
More than 100 financing relationships.
BCSI maintains active relationships across the private and institutional credit markets, allowing each opportunity to be directed toward capital providers with a credible appetite for the company, structure and situation.
Private-credit funds
Flexible term debt, unitranche and special-situations capital for transactions requiring speed or structural creativity.
Family offices
Patient and situational capital where alignment, discretion or a tailored mandate matters.
Specialty finance companies
Asset-based, receivables, working-capital and other collateral-specific solutions.
Transaction execution
One process through closing.
Structure and positioning
Define the capital requirement, evaluate alternatives and present the credit around the company’s operating and strategic realities.
Provider selection
Identify and engage the banks, funds, family offices and specialty lenders most credible for the mandate.
Terms and covenants
Compare proposals and negotiate economics, covenant flexibility, collateral, reporting obligations and structural protections.
Diligence to close
Coordinate lender diligence, management workstreams, documentation and closing so momentum is maintained after a term sheet is signed.
Complex transactions
Structure before source.
Capital is most effective when its structure reflects the transaction—not when a company is forced into the parameters of a familiar product. Assignments may involve acquisition financing, an ownership transition, balance-sheet pressure, working-capital demands or a growth opportunity that requires a nonstandard solution.
Leveraged buyouts
Acquisition financing aligned with cash flow, collateral, purchase structure and the objectives of buyers and investors.
Partner buyouts
Capital for ownership transitions that protects operating continuity and preserves enterprise value.
Recapitalizations
Balance-sheet solutions designed to create liquidity, fund growth, realign stakeholders or support the next stage of the business.
Debt restructuring
Replacement or reworked obligations intended to improve flexibility, maturity profile and financial stability.
Strategic credit
Receivables and working-capital structures built around the distinctive payment cycles of media, advertising and technology businesses.
Special situations
Senior attention and a tailored process when complexity, speed or circumstance falls outside a routine financing mandate.
