Private Funds
Private equity is a form of alternative investment and refers to a set of capital assets that are not available for trading on a public market. As opposed to stock ownership, private equity typically refers to private ownership.
Either you seek an exit from the company’s ownership structure or you want to fund a new investment, private equity may be the right decision.

Raising capital through private debt is one of the many strategies your company can adopt in order to further expand its business, pursue a business opportunity or manage its operations, without carrying the limitations of the traditional financing from a commercial bank.
Depending on the type of capital you seek or the ventures you want to finance, various approaches are recommended. Two of the most accessed courses of action are:
Private Corporate Bonds
Non-listed bonds that companies may issue to potential investors in order to raise capital for their projects. Through private placement, businesses can raise money, while remaining a private company and avoiding a bank funding. A bond will function as a loan between the company and the investor and will give the former a greater flexibility of operation, in contrast with a bank loan that usually comes with a set of restrictive covenants that can hamper the company’s operations.

Mezzanine Financing
A form of financing that draws features from both traditional debt and equity, being often referred as a hybrid financing option. Mezzanine financing is best suited for established businesses of small and medium sizes that are looking to fund growth and expansion projects. This form of financing grants a high flexibility and allows owners to retain control of the strategic direction of the company as the mezzanine lenders are usually passive lenders.
