Capital Arranging for Independent Sponsors
Our Value Proposition
As an independent sponsor, you juggle many tasks while pursuing an acquisition. Retaining JWC to arrange capital can significantly increase your chance of success. How?
By Providing Access to a Wider Capital Provider Network: JWC maintains an established network of private equity funds, commercial banks, mezzanine lenders, and family offices, eliminating much of the legwork at the front end of the capital raise process and significantly increasing the odds of securing financing with acceptable sponsor economics.
By Enabling Transaction Efficiency: By engaging JWC to manage a highly systematic capital raise process, you can focus on the transaction's nuts and bolts—diligence, documentation, and transition planning. This streamlines the process and potentially accelerates the close timeframe.
By Leveraging Our Professional Expertise and Experience: JWC uses its structuring experience and knowledge of market conditions to advise on how best to position your opportunity in a way that generates capital provider interest.
By Enhancing Your Credibility with Sellers and Capital Providers: Working with a reputable intermediary such as JWC can signal seriousness and lower execution risk to sellers and potential capital providers.
JWC's Success-Based Fee Model
JWC's competitive success-based fee model links our compensation directly to the outcome of your transaction and does not distinguish between capital classes, allowing us to provide unbiased capital structuring advice.
