CAPITAL ADVISORY

DGP Capital is a leading Capital Advisory firm for small to medium-sized businesses in manufacturing, industrial and energy sectors. We have deep experience in private capital placement and in corporate finance. Our founders have led transactions across many different structures and sizes, from $1 million all the way to $3 billion in transaction size; we utilize those experiences to provide smaller companies (typically with revenues as low as $10 million) with customized cost-efficient capital solutions.

Work with an Investment Bank with Domain Expertise in your Sector and Focused on Your Size DGP Capital understands that capital objectives vary according to the industry sector, the financial situation of the company, and the ownership team’s objectives. Every company is unique, and as such, we do a deep dive in assessing your capital situation, thereby aligning the needs of your company with efficient sources of capital.

With deep domain expertise across the energy, manufacturing, and industrials space, DGP Capital understands that there is no “one size fits all” capital solution. Unlike other capital advisors, we do not believe that effective capital advisory work is industry agnostic. As such, DGP’s focus on our specific sectors of coverage ultimately is designed to yield our clients more competitive transaction terms and a lower cost of capital. Furthermore, our involvement as an intermediary signal to buyers that this is a process with actual timelines, and multiple interested parties, ensuring that buyers are on their best behavior. Confidentiality during a process is something that an M&A advisor such as DGP inherently provides; our involvement helps ensure that our clients’ customers and suppliers do not learn of any pending sale until after the deal has been closed

Significant demands of time, research and knowledge will be placed on management and owners of your enterprise if attempted alone.

• Traditional Banks – Not the Only Source for Capital

As certain industries evolve, traditional banks may not be the optimal capital provider for a business. A sector may be out of favor, a company’s existing bank may be pulling back their exposure to certain industries, or a traditional bank may have outgrown their client. It’s not uncommon for traditional banks to limit, or in some instances rescind, credit to their existing customers. In many situations, a non-traditional lender or capital provider is the best option available to a business.

DGP Capital has the relationships with various alternative sources for recapitalization: private debt and equity investors, subordinated or mezzanine financing, working capital financing or off-balance sheet financing providers. Rather than limit the financing search to just your familiar sources, obtain favorable terms with competitive offers through our connections to traditional and non-traditional capital providers:

• Private Equity financing
• ash flow Loans
• Asset Based Loans
• Refinancing / Recapitalization
• Term A/B Loans
• Asset-Based and Real Estate Financing
• Working Capital and Operating Leases
• Mezzanine / Subordinated or Junior Debt

DGP Capital’s insightful review of your company, coupled with our industry knowledge, will identify the best process and sources for raising debt or equity financing, while minimizing disruptive or unintended impacts.

With our extensive relationships with turnaround specialists and capital sources that strictly provide capital for restructuring, special situations, distressed companies, we can offer a bespoke solution for getting your company back on track.
