Debt and Equity Placements

Bourne Partners helps determine a client’s optimal capital structure based on the company’s objectives and identifies the most cost-effective financial instruments available. We then help our clients obtain attractive capital quickly and efficiently. We maintain relationships with a broad range of private equity groups and mezzanine capital providers, especially those with a healthcare focus.

Our financing services include advising on the optimal debt and equity structures in the private market. Typical financings include acquisition financing, recapitalizations and buyouts. We focus on specific terms and conditions to ensure that our clients have flexibility to execute an existing corporate strategy and pursue various corporate development initiatives.

We use our understanding of both the financial markets and our client’s objectives to prepare an offering memorandum that best conveys transaction. We value the company pre and post transaction to make sure the investment is worth the cost of capital. The appropriate capital providers are identified and contacted. We evaluate all proposals with management and help select the best partners.
