INTERMEDIARY SERVICE
The Sterling Capital Transaction Team negotiates passionately for our clients, fueling the successful transactions that drive the firm. This intensity is supported by years of experience raising debt and equity capital, and closing quality M&A deals in the emerging, lower and middle markets.
The team’s diversity, tenacity, experience and skill are essential to identifying, structuring and closing the deals that provide lifeblood to our clients’ businesses. We rely on our powerful and dynamic relationships with the world’s leading equity and debt entities to provide the best sources of capital and buyers possible.
Our firm provides tenacious intermediary services for our clients in the following arenas:
§ Equity Funding: According to Thomson Venture Economics, in 2003 an estimated $75 billion has been committed to Venture Capital funds. Those funds have not yet been invested. Our firm works with venture capitalists and angel investors to provide equity capital for emerging growth companies. Our team utilizes its expertise in all areas of the transaction including source identification, due diligence and final negotiations.
§ Debt Financing: Most small and medium-sized businesses are unable to attract traditional bank financing. Sterling Capital has built relationships with seasoned alternative debt financing sources to help our clients secure capital for equipment and working capital. We continue to succeed in this arena in the face of adverse economic conditions.
Mergers & Acquisitions: We utilize our origination prowess to structure and negotiate optimal M&A transactions by identifying capable and competent buyers. This allows us to structure and negotiate successful deals for both sides of the table. We consistently locate and source the acquisition financing necessary to close deals.
