Capital Advisory
Cavendish Capital Advisors LLP (CCA) is an independent affiliate of Cavendish Corporate Finance LLP and was established in 2006 in response to client feedback to consider those situations where a full company sale was not deemed appropriate.
In today’s challenging economic climate it is more important than ever to engage a professional advisor who intimately knows the private equity community and banking market. This is necessary as even high-quality companies can struggle to secure the optimum funding package. Therefore due to its wealth of experience and contacts CCA can assist in a wide range of situations, such as supporting a management team with raising equity and debt to facilitate an MBO, raising additional equity or debt to refinance or de-lever a business, or leading a renegotiation of banking covenants with lenders on behalf of a company's shareholders.
CCA therefore offers 3 broad categories of service:
1. Early-stage fundraising| – development capital for early-stage companies. We understand how difficult it can be for early-stage companies to both raise development capital and build their fast-growing companies at the same time. Following a ‘grooming’ session where we will work with you to refine your strategy, business plan and financial model, we will introduce you to our network of professional venture capital investors and private individuals and manage the fund-raising process through to fruition.
2. General fundraising (both debt and equity)| – for corporates, entrepreneurs and management teams for a wide range of purposes – development capital, acquisition finance, MBO/MBI’s, re-financings, re-capitalizations. We will work closely with owner-managers to assess their funding requirements and determine which forms of capital are most appropriate. Using our network of private equity investors and providers of debt finance we will then help management ‘sell’ the opportunity and negotiate and process manage the deal to completion.
3. Leverage management| – advising companies that are highly geared and are potentially going to suffer financial stress over the short to medium term. Our leverage management service is designed to pro-actively analyse a company’s position and identify as early as possible potential distressed situations. We will then work with management to find and apply the most appropriate solution.
