Debt & Equity Capital Advisory

Strategy-led capital advisory for high-growth businesses

MLCM Advisory advises businesses and shareholders on the structuring and execution of debt and equity capital transactions.

We help determine how much capital is required, which form of capital is appropriate, how the transaction should be structured and which capital providers are most likely to support it.

MLCM is not a lender and does not represent a single source of capital. We assess competing financing structures and capital providers against cost, risk, flexibility, dilution and execution certainty.

We then prepare and manage the transaction from initial assessment through market engagement, negotiation, due diligence and financial close.

What We Help Clients Achieve

Raise capital with a credible investment case

We translate the business, financial performance and growth plan into a clear and defensible proposition for lenders and investors.

Improve transaction structure and terms

We assess the full economic and strategic impact of each option, not only the headline interest rate or valuation.

Navigate complex funding situations

We assist businesses that have outgrown conventional bank funding, require non-standard capital or need to address issues before approaching the market.

Execute with greater control

A structured process creates competitive tension, maintains momentum and gives management greater visibility over decisions, requirements and timing.

How We Work

01 — Assess

We review the company’s financial position, capital requirements, strategic objectives and ability to support the proposed funding.

02 — Structure

We identify viable capital solutions and recommend a structure balancing cost, risk, flexibility, dilution and execution certainty.

03 — Prepare

We develop the financial model, information memorandum, lender or investor materials, data room and supporting analysis required for market engagement.

04 — Execute

We approach suitable capital providers, manage discussions and due diligence, compare proposals and negotiate key commercial terms.

05 — Close

We coordinate the process through credit approval, investment approval, documentation, conditions precedent and financial close
