Capital Raising for Independent Sponsors

As an independent sponsor, you juggle many responsibilities during the pursuit of an acquisition. And Retaining JWC to arrange capital can significantly amplify your success. How?

Providing Access to a Wider Network: JWC maintains an established network of capital providers, eliminating much of the preliminary legwork at the front end of the capital raise process and increasing the odds of securing financing.

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.
