Overview of Growth Financing

Vested for Growth provides risk tolerant Mezzanine Financing for New Hampshire companies with growth or acquisition plans that represent a wide range of risk. This includes businesses that are not able to secure all (or part of) their capital needs from banks and/or equity sources.

No type of capital is better or worse than another. They are just different. The key is to find the best capital match for your company. To begin this process, it is important to know the full range of financing options. Below are tools that provide a general orientation to growth capital:


Mezzanine Financing

What is the typical structure?

VfG provides risk-adjusted capital in a structure that avoids straight equity where a sale of the business is required to "cash out" the investor.

The typical structure includes either subordinated debt or royalty financing because they do not require the future sale of the business in order to tap into the "reward" for taking the higher risk. Deals with substantial risk, may also include warrants (the right to purchase stock at a predetermined price), but the warrants are not structured to be the "bread and butter" of the return.

What do you mean by risk? Do you have examples?

VfG offers financing to companies across the spectrum of risk, from those that are just beyond being bankable to those that are appropriate for venture capital. Here is a description of some VfG deals along the spectrum of risk.
