Capital raising
Capital raising for growing companies
Growth requires capital, and the type of capital determines who runs the company afterwards.
Before choosing the instrument, we define with you how much to raise, for what, at what cost and with what acceptable level of dilution.
Alternatives we structure
| Alternative | When it makes sense |
|---|---|
| Equity partner (private equity, family office, strategic) | Accelerated growth, professionalization, sector consolidation |
| Debentures and commercial notes | Medium- and long-term financing without dilution |
| FIDC and CRI (receivables funds and real estate receivables certificates) | Companies with recurring receivables, to reduce the cost of capital |
| Mezzanine | Expansion or acquisition without immediate dilution |
| Sale & leaseback and built to suit | Release cash tied up in real estate or fund a new plant |
How we work
- Diagnosis of the current capital structure and cost of capital.
- Definition of the alternative and the amount to raise.
- Preparation of materials for investors or lenders.
- Liaison with investors and with institutions authorized to distribute the securities.
- Negotiation of terms, collateral and covenants.
Securities are distributed by authorized financial institutions. Elit acts as the company’s financial adviser throughout the process.
Frequently asked questions
Will I lose control if I bring in a partner?
Not necessarily. Minority investors are common, and governance rights are negotiated in the shareholders’ agreement.
Debt or equity?
It depends on the cost of capital, the predictability of cash flow and how much dilution you accept. We compare the alternatives side by side before the decision.
