Burnham investment bankers are in continuous contact with senior credit sources, subordinated debt providers and private equity and hedge funds. We draw on this in-depth knowledge of private capital sources to suggest capital structures aimed at enhancing shareholder value and/or liquidity.
Private Equity
Burnham investment bankers have long-term relationships with dozens of established and newer private equity firms and hedge funds that are focused on middle market transactions. We track their industry, size and ownership preferences. We also have ties with individual, family and corporate investors.
Private Investment in Public Equity ("PIPEs")
Burnham investment bankers can help our clients structure and place PIPE transactions for middle market public companies. PIPE financings are tailored for a particular company’s capital structure and financing needs, including growth capital, acquisition financing, recapitalizations and secondary equity sales.
Subordinated Debt
Burnham investment bankers maintain relationships with numerous subordinated debt providers and continually stay abreast of their investment criteria. Using this knowledge, we seek the most appropriate financing sources for clients and structure transactions to address the needs of various participants.
Senior Debt
Burnham investment bankers maintain relationships with senior credit officers at major banks, private funds, insurance and other financial institutions. This enables us to understand the changing lending preferences and risk tolerances of each institution and the strategic makeup of their portfolios. We pride ourselves on knowing each lender’s capital appetite, risk profile, structural requirements, credit process, turnaround capabilities and likelihood of delivery. This knowledge helps us match clients with appropriate lenders. We evaluate a company’s true enterprise value and cash flow generation capability to maximize financial leverage multiples.
