FUNDRAISING

Most growing, privately held businesses will, at some point, need to raise capital in order to:

• Strenghten its working capital
• Support organic growth, complete an acquisition, fund a joint venture, a management buyout (MBO/MBI) and a business restructuring
• Replace capital from existing funding sources with less expensive, more flexible capital
• Incorporate institutional or strategic investors
• Reduce leverage or increase equity cushion
• Midas can put together and lead an investor syndicate, which may finance a buyout transaction, MBO/MBI transaction or provide growth capital for organic and strategic growth.
