Approach
How we work
Five principles shape every engagement, whether we are structuring a deal or reviewing one.
01 — Principles
Principles
We start from what has to be true. Before the model gets detailed, we identify the few assumptions the deal depends on and test those first.
Models are built to be challenged. The audience for a model is a credit committee. It should hold up when someone else pushes on it.
We say so early when a deal doesn't work. An early no saves a sponsor time and money. It is often the most useful thing we deliver.
The downside decides. A structure is only as good as how it behaves when things go wrong.
One side of the table. We never represent both sides of a deal.
02 — Structures
Structures we work with
Every capital stack is different. In a first conversation we learn where your project stands and give you a straight read on whether we can help. There's no cost to learn more.
Have a project or a decision in front of you?
Tell us a little about it. There's no cost to learn more, and you'll hear back from a real person to set up a short call.
