Raising Capital

Akin Bay has spent the last 20 years raising capital for middle market companies from institutional sources.

We raise capital for a broad range of companies spanning over 40 business sectors and industries.  We understand how our clients’ capital needs will vary according to their business model, existing capital structure and their shareholders’ short and long term business objectives.

Akin Bay is focused on placing equity and debt for both publicly and privately held and family owned companies.  Our criteria for raising capital are based on a company having a minimum of $3 million in EBITDA and/or $20 million plus in revenues.  We have the capability to raise capital in a broad range of $5 to $500 million, over a wide spectrum of financing products and alternatives.

The following covers the main categories of these financing alternatives:

Debt Securities	Equity Securities
Senior Debt: Asset Based and Cash Flow Working Capital Lines of Credit Term A & B Loans & Mortgages Warehouse Lines Capital and Operating Leases Mezzanine / Subordinated and Junior Debt High Yield Bonds (Public and Private - 144A Rated and Unrated) Convertible Debt	Private Placements of Preferred & Common Stock Convertible Preferred Venture Capital Equity Private Placements of Preferred & Common Stock for Public Companies (PIPEs)

High Yield Offering

Akin Bay has formed a strategic alliance with a leading investment firm's newly formed high yield sales and trade group which provides to our clients access to private and public high yield and investment grade bond underwriting, distribution, research and secondary market support. Akin Bay provides for its clients: origination, structuring, underwriting, offering /marketing documents and specialized placement of senior bank, mezzanine and syndicated institutional debt and public and private high yield bonds (Rule 144A rated or non-rated).

Akin Bay's high yield capabilities make Akin Bay unique among middle market- focused boutique investment banks in opening the high yield debt market to middle market companies needing to raise $20 to $250 million of leveraged debt. Akin Bay is able to place our client's high yield debt with over 150 institutional investors worldwide, including: insurance companies, pension funds, endowments, bond funds, CLOs, CBOs, hedge funds, mezzanine funds, BDCs and banks. Our extensive institutional sales team is able to provide to our clients, before we take on any assignment, a high level of confidence in the pricing, structuring and placement of their high yield issue. Akin Bay provides this flexible debt financing to either sponsored and non-sponsored companies seeking acquisition financing, a recapitalization for covenant flexibility, additional working capital or a dividend recap.

As the economy recovers while traditional financing sources remain capital- constrained, a "tailored" high yield offering by Akin Bay represents an extremely attractive alternative to the traditional debt financing products and sources of other firms.
