Capital Raising

Equity

GroupArgent utilizes both internal and external funding sources to help clients raise equity financing. We have relationships with a carefully selected group of private equity and venture capital firms as well as high net worth individuals and family offices that seek investment opportunities.  In addition, GroupArgent has developed a deep base of strategic corporate investors.  We continually track the industry focus, deal size, and ownership preferences of our funding partners to ensure we are introducing the right capital sources to our clients.  We are capable of raising minority equity as well as structuring control relationships as appropriate.

Senior and Subordinated Debt

GroupArgent maintains relationships with major banks, private funds, and other financial institutions interested in funding debt securities at various levels of the capital structure. We work closely with these institutions to understand their lending preferences, risk tolerances, and overall return strategy. Our relationships give us a clear view into each lender’s capital appetite, risk profile, and credit evaluation process.

Private Placements

In the last decade, a strong market has emerged for private equity offerings undertaken to benefit early stage and fast growing companies who wish to raise capital without becoming public, and public companies who wish to issue private securities.  Examples of these types of private placements include growth capital, convertibles, private investments in public equity (PIPES), mezzanine debt and equity, and Rule 144A private placements of equity. 

GroupArgent has significant experience and expertise in structuring and placing private equity transactions for micro to mid-cap companies. Placements take into account a given company’s current capital structure, financing needs, and long-term business strategy.
