What This Service Is

Acquisition & Growth Capital Advisory is designed for transactions involving the purchase, expansion, or strategic growth of operating businesses or assets where capital structure, timing, and execution discipline are critical.

Equis Capital Finance advises sponsors, operators, and management teams on how acquisition and growth capital should be structured, positioned, and sequenced to align with lender, investor, and institutional underwriting expectations.

Equis Capital Finance originates and underwrites acquisition financing mandates, structuring and placing capital through established institutional and private credit relationships across North America.

What We Advise On

Our advisory scope for acquisition and growth capital includes:
  • Capital structuring for business and asset acquisitions
  • Leveraged acquisition strategies
  • Management buyouts and sponsor-led transactions
  • Growth capital for expansion, scaling, or consolidation
  • Coordination of debt, equity, and hybrid capital
  • Capital stack alignment with operating risk and cash flow
  • Transaction positioning for lender and investor review

This advisory is focused on structure and execution, not transactional volume.

When This Service Applies

This service is typically appropriate when:
  • The transaction size exceeds conventional lending thresholds
  • A layered or bespoke capital structure is required
  • The acquisition involves operating or integration risk
  • Growth plans require patient or structured capital
  • Institutional or committee-based underwriting is expected
  • Execution credibility materially affects outcomes

In many cases, this advisory follows — or is informed by — a capital readiness assessment to ensure the transaction is appropriately positioned before engagement.

What This Service Is Not

To maintain clarity, this service is not:
  • Guaranteed acquisition financing
  • Capital placement or brokerage
  • Valuation promotion or deal marketing
  • A substitute for operational execution or integration planning

Capital providers make independent decisions based on risk and fundamentals.

Outcomes

When properly applied, this advisory results in:
  • Capital structures aligned with acquisition and operating risk
  • Improved lender and investor alignment
  • Reduced execution and integration risk
  • Clear expectations around leverage and growth assumptions
  • Stronger execution credibility with capital providers

The objective is sustainable growth, not over-leverage.
