Capital Raising
Secure the right capital with clarity, structure, and disciplined execution.
Dealio helps founder-led businesses raise equity and debt capital aligned with their growth plans, risk tolerance, and long-term objectives.
ENGAGEMENT OPTIONS
1. Equity Financing
Raising equity capital is about more than funding — it’s about bringing in the right partners and structuring the transaction to support long-term value.
This engagement is designed for businesses seeking growth capital, strategic investment, or partial liquidity through the sale of equity. We help position the opportunity, identify aligned investors, and manage the process to ensure terms are structured thoughtfully.
It’s ideal for companies pursuing expansion, acquisitions, or recapitalizations while maintaining a clear view of ownership and control.
Our equity financing clients receive:
Preparation of financial materials, forecasts, and investor presentations
Development of a clear and compelling investment narrative
Identification and targeting of appropriate investors (strategic, private equity, family offices)
Guidance on valuation expectations and market positioning
Advice on deal structure, dilution, and governance considerations
Management of investor discussions, NDAs, and process flow
Support through term sheets, negotiation, diligence, and closing
2. Debt Financing
Debt can be a powerful tool to fund growth, support acquisitions, or improve liquidity — when structured properly.
This engagement supports businesses seeking bank financing, private credit, or alternative lending solutions. We help evaluate financing options, position the business effectively with lenders, and negotiate terms that align with cash flow and operational realities.
It’s ideal for companies looking to minimize dilution while accessing capital in a structured and disciplined way.
Our debt financing clients receive:
Assessment of borrowing capacity and capital structure
Guidance on appropriate debt products (senior debt, mezzanine, asset-based lending, etc.)
Preparation of lender materials and financial packages
Introduction to relevant lenders and capital providers
Management of lender outreach and communication
Negotiation support on pricing, covenants, and repayment terms
Coordination of diligence, documentation, and closing
