A private placement is the private sale of debt or equity securities to qualified investors or institutions.

Businesses require capital to grow and expand. While established companies may finance growth with public equity offerings, bank debt, or internally generated funds, most young companies do not have the track record to take their business public and loans from traditional banking sources are often not available due to a lack of bankable assets. For such young firms, a private placement of debt or equity securities can provide the capital required to fuel growth.

Certain companies, even those with the ability to raise funds in the public markets, may opt instead to raise capital privately to avoid public scrutiny and the regulatory, accounting and financial burdens associated with being a public company.

The professional staff at Protheus Investment can help determine whether a private placement is achievable on satisfactory terms and if it is the most desirable approach. We will manage the entire process from authoring the placement memorandum to structuring, negotiating and closing the deal. Our roster of capital sources includes major financial institutions, private equity firms, family offices, mezzanine and equity funds and high net worth individuals.
