Growth Capital (also known as growth equity or expansion capital) is a type of investment opportunity in relatively mature companies that are going through some transformational event in their lifecycle with potential for some dramatic growth.
Growth capital is utilized by businesses to subsidize the expansion of their operations, entrance into new markets, and acquisitions to boost the company’s revenues and profitability. Growth equity investors benefit from the high growth potential and moderate risk of the investments.
Growth equity deals generally imply minority investments. Such deals are commonly executed using preferred shares. Note that growth equity investors tend to prefer companies with low leverage or no debt at all.
Company refinancing is the process through which a company reorganizes its financial obligations by replacing or restructuring existing debts. Corporate refinancing is often done to improve a company's financial position. Through refinancing, a company can receive more favorable interest rates, improve their credit quality , and secure more favorable financing options. It can also be done while a company is in distress with the help of debt restructuring.
Generally, the result of a corporate refinancing is reduced monthly interest payments, more favorable loan terms, risk reduction, and access to more cash for operations and capital investment.
If you are planning an IPO or are already a Publicly Listed Company (plc), you should consider a Share Subscription Facility.
A share subscription facility is a legally binding commitment of equity, in which your company has an option to draw down on equity at your own discretion/desire over a period of 3 years (typically). Essentially you will be able to control the timing and the maximum amounts of the draw down.
Companies decide to put a structure like this in place for a variety of reasons besides actually funding, i.e., like to send a strong message to the market about their capitalization. By having the line in place today a Company can act quickly and can be better prepared to capitalize on opportunities in the marketplace.
Some companies take the line and put it in place yet they never intend to use it but they decide they want to benefit from the announcement to the marketplace by showing they are well funded by a recognized global investment group. We have seen companies in several markets use this legally binding commitment of equity to negotiate better conditions with banks either to refinance existing debt or to take on new debt. This structure is a complement to other sources of financing and thus generally creates positive feedback from an announcement to the market.
If you are a Pre-IPO company or an already listed company trading in a liquid stock exchange and looking to raise capital in 6 to 12 months time, kindly drop us a line at enquiries@eshcolventures.co.keand learn more about the Share Subscription Facility.
