Access to capital is critical for an acquisition or to give your liquidity cushion. We offer a broad spectrum to our clients which include both public and private corporate issuers as well as Financial Sponsors and Pensions in Canada.

Capital raise, in basic terms, is the process of raising capital by a company or other entity. Unless one is saving money, the only other way to earn quick income would be through debt or equity. 

Through capital raise, companies can experience a short-term boost in their finances which can be used for any number of uses within the company. This capital will have to be paid back with interest to investors who bought the securities.

As stated above, raising capital comes in the form of debt, equity, or a hybrid of the two. When companies need to raise capital, they will typically offer attractive securities to investors to convince them to invest. Companies can employ those new resources to invest in the company and provide a strong return for investors. 

It can be difficult to know when to consider capital raise, given its dual nature. On the one hand, it can provide much needed financial freedom over the short-term. However, the company will lose control over the long-term due to debt or equity. As a result, the following scenarios are general clues for considering capital raise:

• Your company identifies a promising growth opportunity
• Your capital structure is not optimal
• The company is experiencing trouble/uncertainty
• The company is young and not yet profitable 

Of course, there is a great deal of complexity in these situations that can’t be expressed here. However, if your company is experiencing financial problems, capital raise may be a key to solving the issue.

Equity capital raising uses the company’s equity itself as leverage for investments. Equity is generally more attractive to investors than debt but can reduce the cut of the profits and cause decision power to diffuse as securities are sold. 

Depending on your specific situation, equity capital raising may be the ideal next step for your company. Our advisors can provide a detailed analysis of your business and determining if equity capital raising makes sense for you.
