Special Situation Financing

There are times when companies will need to raise capital to deal with an approaching debt maturity or other mandatory liquidity event. However, because the capital markets are in constant motion, the ability of the company to raise debt may be significantly more difficult than the last time the company approached the markets. To deal with these types of circumstances, Morgan Joseph offers a unique product, the Special Situation Financing. Leveraging broad capital market offerings and distribution capabilities, Morgan Joseph can raise capital for clients under the most favorable terms anywhere in the capital structure. Successfully executing these Special Situations Financing transactions requires experience in managing a comprehensive financing process, often under compressed timelines. We utilize an experienced transaction team in order to maintain leverage and drive the best possible results for clients through the following tasks: (i) rapidly gaining a complete understanding of our client's specific business dynamics; (ii) conducting a competitive process aimed at generating multiple alternatives for the client; and (iii) communicating with existing stakeholders throughout the process. Our significant expertise in this area has allowed Morgan Joseph to repeatedly achieve highly favorable outcomes for our clients.
