For Private Equity
Recapitalisations
We advise private equity investors on recapitalisation strategies designed to actively manage capital structures and enhance investment outcomes.
Recapitalisations are a critical tool during the hold period, enabling investors to:
-
Return capital to investors through dividend recapitalisations
-
Optimise the capital structure, improving efficiency and enhancing equity returns
-
Fund growth initiatives or acquisitions to accelerate value creation
-
De-risk and stabilise the business, particularly in changing market conditions
Our approach combines deep transaction experience, market intelligence, and rigorous modelling to ensure recapitalisation strategies are aligned with both the performance of the business and the broader investment thesis.
Types of Recapitalisation Support
We support clients across all forms of recapitalisation, including:
Leveraging Recapitalisations
Increasing the level of debt to release capital to shareholders or support growth, while maintaining an appropriate risk profile
De-leveraging
Recapitalisations
Reducing debt levels to strengthen the balance sheet, improve resilience, and position the business for future growth or exit
Equity Recapitalisations
Introducing new equity or restructuring ownership to support strategic change, growth, or partial realisation
Follow-on Funding for Growth
Recapitalisations often create an opportunity to secure follow-on funding to accelerate growth and value creation.
We work with investors to structure and deliver additional capital to:
-
Fund organic expansion and operational initiatives
-
Support buy-and-build and acquisition strategies
-
Invest in capability, technology, and market development
Our focus is on ensuring that follow-on funding is delivered within a disciplined capital framework, maintaining the right balance of debt and equity while preserving flexibility for future strategic options.
By combining clear strategic intent with disciplined execution, we ensure recapitalisations are not just financial events, but powerful tools for driving value throughout the investment lifecycle.
