As a growth-oriented middle market business leader, you understand access to capital can make or break your company’s ability to grow. Junior capital is a powerful and popular tool available for companies who need capital quickly.
You’re invited to join a discussion with junior capital experts who can help you decide if acquiring junior debt is the right decision for your company (and also illustrate the entire process from preparing to talk with potential lenders to receiving junior capital funding).
You’ll leave the discussion with a clear understanding:
• What are the pros and cons of junior capital?
• What type of middle market companies are traditionally most successful using junior capital in their growth strategy?
• How will potential lenders evaluate the financial health of your company?
• How can you evaluate what junior debt structure is best-suited for your company?
• What are some non-economic considerations companies should identify before choosing a junior debt lender?
The discussion is interactive – so not only will you gain the perspective of a traditional lender, accounting firm, and private equity firm – but you’ll have the opportunity to ask questions specifically about your company’s goals, challenges, and opportunities.
Featured speakers include:
• Homyar Choksi, Partner, LBC Credit Partners
• Ervine Geiger, Managing Director, Wells Fargo Strategic Capital - Diversified Industries
• Mario O. Vicari, CPA, Director, Kreischer Miller
This program is exclusive to middle market companies (annual revenue $10M to $1B) and emerging companies (annual revenue $1M to $9M). Space is limited. If you’re unable to register due to this restriction but fit the criteria above, please email Antonia at antonia@chamberphl.com who will be happy to assist you.
