Capital Market Solutions
Raising debt capital for middle-market companies, PE sponsors, and financial institutions with bridge financing, DIP financing, and bespoke capital structures.
Bridge Financing
Bridge Loan / Bridge Financing
Bridge financing provides short-term capital solutions designed to "bridge" the gap between an immediate need for funding and the arrangement of longer-term financing. Bankers Edge Advisory specializes in structuring bridge loans that meet the unique requirements of each transaction.
Our bridge financing solutions are tailored for middle-market companies, private equity sponsors, and financial institutions that require speed of execution and certainty of close. We leverage our extensive network of capital providers to deliver competitive terms and flexible structures.
When Bridge Financing Makes Sense
- Acquisition financing when permanent capital is being arranged
- Recapitalizations and balance sheet restructurings
- Growth capital for time-sensitive opportunities
- Interim financing during a sale or restructuring process
- Real estate and asset-backed lending situations
Our team's decades of experience in debt capital markets allows us to identify the optimal structure, pricing, and terms for each bridge financing engagement. We work closely with borrowers and lenders to ensure seamless execution.
DIP Financing
Debtor-in-Possession Financing
Debtor-in-Possession (DIP) financing is a specialized form of capital provided to companies that have filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. DIP loans carry super-priority status and provide the liquidity necessary for a company to continue operations during the restructuring process.
Bankers Edge Advisory has deep expertise in arranging DIP financing for companies navigating the Chapter 11 process. We understand the unique legal, structural, and economic considerations that drive DIP transactions and work to deliver optimal outcomes for all stakeholders.
Key Features of DIP Financing
- Super-priority claim status in the capital structure
- Court-approved terms providing certainty for lenders
- Flexible structures accommodating operational needs
- Potential for roll-up into exit financing
- Bridge to emergence or sale transaction
Our team works with debtors, creditor committees, and potential DIP lenders to structure financing that maximizes value for the estate while providing the operational liquidity needed for a successful restructuring.
