Make your capital structure support your next move.
You want to finance growth, acquire a business or bring in an equity partner while keeping ownership and governance aligned with your priorities. CGPH Banque d’affaires structures the analysis of debt, equity and hybrid financing around your business plan, cash flows and shareholder objectives.
Which decision are you preparing?
Finance growth or an acquisition
Assess how much debt the business can support and the role of shareholder funds, external equity or hybrid instruments.
Bring in an equity partner
Consider funding, dilution, shareholder liquidity and governance together before entering investor discussions.
Regain financial flexibility
Review debt maturities, financing costs and contractual restrictions against investment needs and available cash flows.
Compare the consequences of each financing option
- Debt capacity and repaymentTest debt service against operating performance, investment needs and alternative business scenarios.
- Cost, ownership and controlCompare the cost and terms of debt, equity and hybrid instruments, including their effect on dilution and decision rights.
- Contractual and tax implicationsCoordinate the review of creditor priorities, covenants, tax treatment and existing agreements with the qualified advisers responsible.
Turn the analysis into a financing roadmap
CGPH brings financial modeling, structuring and transaction coordination into the same discussion. We compare alternatives with management and shareholders, then prepare the financing case and the sequence of lender or investor discussions.
We coordinate legal, tax and accounting specialists around the implications of each option. Management and shareholders set the ownership and strategic priorities; we prepare the analysis and financing discussions that support their decisions.
Follow the route your business requires
The analysis may lead to an equity partnership, a private-debt process or a combination of financing sources. The structure follows the business objective and its capacity to support the resulting commitments.
Start with the decision, then the numbers
Tell us about the next step for your business: growth, an acquisition or a change in ownership. Our first discussion focuses on the funding required, your shareholder priorities and the financing routes to assess.
Your capital structure questions
- How do you assess the balance between debt and equity?
- We compare debt, equity and hybrid financing against the business plan, available cash flows and shareholder priorities. The analysis considers financing costs, repayment capacity, dilution and governance together.
- Can this help before an LBO or acquisition?
- Yes. It connects the purchase price and shareholder investment with the debt, repayment requirements and operating needs the business will carry after completion.
- How does this differ from debt restructuring?
- A capital structure review considers the overall balance of financing and ownership. Debt restructuring focuses on existing debt commitments, repayment timetables and coordinated discussions with creditors.
