Our Services

As management teams face a changing and increasingly competitive world, Capital Run has established itself as a trusted and respected advisor deeply knowledgeable about specific issues and opportunities affecting companies' strategies, operations, and organic and external growth on a global basis.

Raising Private Capital

Capital Run has a distinguished and lengthy track record of raising capital for middle-market private companies. We represent growth and later-stage private companies in their fundraising process, working closely with management and existing investors to secure the next round of growth equity, debt or strategic financing. Our team has completed more than 100 transactions ranging in size from $6 million to $125 million.

Through our extensive contacts in the venture capital, private equity, mezzanine debt and strategic investor communities, we introduce clients to qualified investment partners. In addition, we are highly experienced in recapitalizing existing businesses. Our diverse network of institutional private equity buyers offers founders and operating shareholders a way to achieve liquidity and growth capital while simultaneously bringing in a professional investment partner who can assist in scaling the business.

Mergers & Acquisitions

Capital Run advises both buyers and sellers in M&A transactions around the world. We ensure that all clients receive senior level focus throughout the entire transaction. We strive to generate the best possible outcome as measured by valuation, deal terms, and non-financial goals.

Sell Side M&A Advisory: We help companies interested in pursuing a sale or merger involving all or part of their business, and organizations interested in partial divestitures of a division or asset base. We introduce the company to potential acquirers, managing a rigorous process to maximize competition and achieve strategic valuations by using our years of experience to successfully and expeditiously close transactions.

Buy Side M&A Advisory: We represent companies interested in strategic acquisitions, such as portfolio solutions, asset acquisitions, mergers, leveraged buy-outs, divisional carve outs, and intellectual property transfers. Our research and preparation include market analyses, target identification, financial modeling, deal negotiations, retention packages, preliminary due diligence, and final negotiation of the definitive agreements.

Fairness Opinions

Fairness opinions mitigate risk to investors, directors, trustees and management by providing an unbiased assessment of all aspects of a pending transaction. This includes proceeds and securities received by different shareholders and analysis of non-cash consideration such as consulting agreements and non-compete payments. A fairness opinion report also needs to take into account actual potential competing offers and must be backed by a legitimate “market” check.

Whether you are assessing a spin-off or recapitalization, an affiliate or insider transaction, or a transaction with competing offers, we prepare and present comprehensive fairness opinions that enable the BOD or a special committee to make informed decisions. We also develop detailed valuation analysis without the issuance of a signed opinion to support the reasonableness of proposed growth and financing plans as well as for a potential complex refinancing.
