Corporate Finance
Metropolitan Capital arranges private equity, venture capital, senior debt and subordinated debt to support our clients' needs. This capital is typically used for expansion, mergers & acquisitions, recapitalizations, leveraged buyouts or shareholder liquidity objectives.

For raising equity, we maintain relationships with venture capital funds, private equity funds, hedge funds, high net worth individual investors and family offices. For raising debt and equity, we maintain relationships with commercial banks, senior credit providers, specialty finance firms and other providers of both senior and subordinated debt. For all aspects of the capital structure, Metropolitan Capital's investment bankers have an understanding of the credit requirements, pricing policies and funding abilities of both debt and equity capital providers.

Private Placements
Metropolitan Capital specializes in the creation, marketing, and negotiation of private placements for companies in various industries. With market experience placing private securities through a down economy, our team has developed the ability to discover and market value effectively. The Company's bankers maintain strong connections to private investors of all sizes and interests to serve as lead or follow-on investors for placements.

Sell-Side Advisory
Our sell side advisory services address a wide range of business succession and shareholder liquidity objectives. Metropolitan Capital applies a comprehensive approach to all client engagements.

Additionally, we provide valuation guidance based on industry multiples, pro forma EBITDA adjustments, earning and cash flow assessments. We can also develop full operational metrics with key value driver analysis to assist in valuing and structuring the proposed transaction, and to support the due diligence process as required to ensure it is thoroughly and efficiently managed.

Equity Placements
Metropolitan Capital maintains strong relationships with investors across a wide range of investment strategies. To maintain these relationships, Metropolitan Capital provides diverse placement opportunities. Thanks in part to the unique company structure; Metropolitan Capital serves a diverse selection of commercial entities in both the debt and equity markets which serve as both potential investments and industry proxies.
