Assess the funding need, cash flows and repayment profile before approaching the relevant lenders and private-credit investors.

Selected mandates
A selection of completed mandates, illustrating how financial analysis, transaction structuring and investor engagement come together around an entrepreneur’s objectives.
A renewed financial structure for a real estate group
A real estate group sought to rebalance its finances while preserving operational continuity. CGPH combined a dedicated vehicle, legal and investor documentation, and a targeted capital-raising process. The transaction provided fresh liquidity and supported the group’s financial reorganization.
Initial capital for industrial development
A technology manufacturing start-up needed funding to begin scaling production. CGPH supported the fundraising process with a dedicated governance vehicle and investor documentation. Initial investments from qualified investors supported the first stage of industrial development.
A structured financing route for a food-tech group
A food-tech group needed to strengthen its organization and financing capacity. CGPH combined corporate and asset reorganization with a securitization vehicle dedicated to production assets. The intervention supported renewed access to banking and leasing facilities.
A unified structure for photovoltaic development
Photovoltaic projects held through separate companies required a coordinated ownership and funding structure. CGPH brought together a holding structure, legal documentation and a capital increase, supporting the projects’ permitting and technical development.
Debt financing for tourism expansion
A tourism and real estate business sought funding for expansion while retaining ownership control. CGPH developed a debt structure around the project’s financing requirements. The funding secured supported project completion without an equity increase.
Real Estate Advisory
For owners, investors, companies and sponsors assessing property transactions or property-backed financing. Our dedicated leadership connects financial analysis, structuring and coordination with the specialists required for each mandate.
