Capital Sourcing
Most companies need to raise capital at some time in their existence, whether it is equity to fund growth or acquisitions, or debt to fund working capital or equipment purchases. To properly raise capital, companies need to have the right connections with investors and lenders, and understand the current market terms. The professionals at Waypoint Private Capital have helped dozens of companies source and negotiate institutional equity and debt. We help business owners navigate the capital sourcing process and negotiate the best possible terms and structure, while also picking a partner that is a good fit for the company.
