Capital Advisory Services

Capital advisory helps a company, sponsor or investment vehicle evaluate and execute a financing strategy. The work can include assessing debt and equity alternatives, preparing financial materials, identifying suitable capital providers, coordinating diligence and negotiating terms. Auxo connects this work to growth, acquisitions, refinancing and ownership objectives. Detailed execution paths include private capital raising and debt placement advisory.

Auxo advises companies, financial sponsors and strategic acquirers, including business owners, shareholders, portfolio companies, independent sponsors, family offices and fund managers. Typical capital advisory mandates involve $25 million–$1 billion+ in capital sought. Typical mandate range. Smaller or larger engagements considered based on fit and execution requirements. Fit also depends on the financing objective, business stage, sector, investment thesis and execution requirements; the range is not a universal revenue or EBITDA threshold.

Fees depend on the scope, preparation required, financing complexity and execution work. An engagement may combine a retainer or work fee with a success fee, with any minimum, credit, expense treatment and tail provisions documented in the engagement letter. There is no universal fee percentage for every capital raise. Discuss the proposed mandate with Auxo to understand the work, responsibilities and applicable economics before engaging an advisor.

Debt generally requires interest payments, repayment and compliance with covenants, while equity typically shares ownership and future upside with investors. Compare cash-flow capacity, leverage, dilution, control, security, maturity and strategic flexibility rather than headline cost alone. Some situations combine the two. Auxo’s capital structure and liquidity advisory helps assess the tradeoffs; lender approval and investor participation are not guaranteed.

Start with a clear use of proceeds, historical financial statements, a credible forecast with its assumptions, existing debt and ownership information, and an explanation of the business model, risks and milestones. The exact diligence requirements depend on the financing. Resolve material gaps before broad outreach and control sensitive disclosures. Private capital raising advisory connects readiness, materials and capital-provider targeting to the proposed raise.

Ask who will lead execution, which deliverables and outreach are included, how the advisor assesses suitable capital providers, and how fees, conflicts and regulatory responsibilities work. Relevant experience should be attributed to the actual team and platform, not inferred from a firm-wide statistic. Compare the proposed process and judgment as well as access. Review Auxo’s team and discuss your capital objective, constraints and timetable before agreeing a mandate.

Timing depends on readiness, financing structure, market conditions, capital-provider diligence and negotiation. Preparing reliable materials and addressing financial or ownership issues can take meaningful time before outreach starts. Acquisition financing adds the seller’s timetable and closing conditions; fund placement has a different fundraising cycle. Establish a realistic work plan and milestones at the outset. Auxo does not guarantee a funding date or completed financing.

Yes. Acquisition financing advisory evaluates debt capacity, equity requirements, seller financing, rollover and other capital-stack alternatives for strategic acquirers and financial sponsors. Structure matters alongside purchase price: repayment capacity, covenants, ownership and funding certainty can affect an offer. This work can complement buy-side M&A advisory, with the financing scope and responsibilities agreed for the transaction.

Potential alternatives include a minority investment, majority recapitalization, partial shareholder sale or debt-supported recapitalization, where the business can support the structure. Each changes risk, control, dilution and future options differently. Auxo helps compare capital structure and liquidity alternatives with a full sale. Availability and terms depend on the company, investor or lender appetite and applicable regulatory requirements.

Auxo can support fund managers, sponsors and investment vehicles with positioning, investor materials, targeting and process execution through fund placement advisory. The mandate should distinguish raising capital for a fund from financing a particular company or acquisition. Investor suitability, strategy, track record, structure and regulatory requirements shape the process. Access to relationships does not assure commitments or a completed raise.

Capital advisory focuses on financing and capital structure, while M&A advisory focuses on buying, selling, merging or recapitalizing businesses. The work overlaps when financing affects a transaction. Capital sought is the amount being raised; company enterprise value is a valuation measure. Auxo’s typical M&A mandate range is $10 million–$1 billion+ in company enterprise value. Typical mandate range. Smaller or larger engagements considered based on fit and execution requirements.
