Deal Capital Partners, LLC (http://investmentbank.com/) announces an expanded focus for business recapitalization services. Expanded partnerships among the firm’s private equity, debt lenders and mezzanine contacts provides greater opportunities for the firm and its clients. In addition, the company is focusing its efforts on firms in the middle and lower-middle market, offering such services as companies look to refinance old debt or change the ownership structure by selling equity or taking on additional non-recourse debt.
“We are entering a great time for recapitalizations,” says Nate Nead, company Director. “Interest rates have again taken a drop and asset valuations have begun to fall. Such a situation provides a fertile and positive ground for recapitalizations for tax and estate planning purposes,” he says. The firm believes macro conditions are aligning in such a way as to help corporations perform restructurings more inexpensively and to reset valuations in a way that is more favorable to estate planning purposes. Strategic restructurings can also be helpful prior to selling a business.
As the company focuses its efforts on recapitalizations, including dividend recapitalizations, including expanding its partnership reach in this area, the firm has sought partners able to facilitate non-recourse debt for certain dividend recapitalizations on private companies. Corporate recapitalizations and restructurings are helpful for companies looking to either expand and use the capital for growth (including growth acquisitions) or for aging owners for dividend recapitalizations. The company has a particular focus on companies with $5mm or more in Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA).
“Adding debt to the balance sheet where little or none existed before, can be helpful for owners looking to take some chips on the table, particularly when such debt does not require the personal guarantee of the founding entrepreneur,” says Nead. Additionally, restructuring old debt is helpful on firms that may have been using expensive factoring services or who have not yet taken advantage of some of today’s very low interest rates.
The company’s expanded focus comes at time of uncertainty in the market. However, immense opportunity exists to utilize some of the firm’s latest partnerships for sourcing and utilizing private equity, family office, mezzanine and other alternative lenders for issuing corporate recapitalizations. “Regardless of whether a firm requires a restructuring event for growth capital, debt refinancing or an owner dividend, we are happy to provide the right campaign and market outreach to source the best-priced capital available,” says Nead. “Many of our new contacts and partners are ready and waiting to have a crack at assisting with our recapitalization program.”
