Financing Engagements

RKCA’s financing advisory practice enables clients to acquire senior, mezzanine, and unitranche debt solutions through our extensive network of regional and national lenders. RKCA-sourced debt has been used by clients to finance growth, fund acquisitions, strengthen balance sheets, pay down debt, and provide catch-up distributions to ownership. Our financing practice grants our clients access to the capital they need to achieve the business objectives. RKCA leverages deep structured finance experience to craft transactions that targets the client’s key objectives. We run highly-competitive processes, reaching out to the appropriate capital providers, to deliver the financing packages our clients seek.

Our financing advisory includes:

• Commercial lending and banking advisory

• Asset Based Lending (ABL)

• Business Development Corporations (BDCs)

• Mezzanine/subordinated debt lending

We sold our company for a couple of reasons. Number one: it was a very good time to be a seller given the valuations in the marketplace. Two: I believe it’s important in life to know your age. RKCA worked hard and found the right buyer – I had a real, comforting feeling that the Private Equity firm RKCA brought to the table were genuine people who were straightforward, honest and humanistic in their approach. That is rare! We’re so happy about this deal. Success is the most valuable outcome, and ours is a success story. RKCA was forthright and honest in how they conducted themselves. They are a high-energy investment bank–smart, motivated. I will continue to have a relationship with them.
