Corporate Financing is a term covering
a wide spectrum of possibilities.
Previously, for privately held
companies with revenues less than $75 million per year, corporate finance
consisted of equity contributions from the owner's personal net worth, banking
lines-of-credit collateralized with the owner's personal net worth and personal
guarantee, and Senior Notes collateralized with the companies hard assets and
the owner's personal guarantee.
Today, however, the wide spectrum of
corporate finance possibilities that were previously available only to the
largest publicly-held corporations are also now available to the privately-held
company with revenues less than $75 million per year.
Some, but certainly not all, of the
possibilities include:
 Subordinated debt
Mezzanine financing
Preferred stock (that might carry
cumulative dividends as well as conversion rights)
Time-specific and guaranteed
internal-rates-of-return (wherein the return remains fixed while the conversion
rights increase or decrease depending on the value of the Company at the time of
exercise)
Cash flow financing
Subordinated senior-debt
Senior subordinated-debt
Conversion to cash of the owner's net
worth in the company while the owner continues to retain operating control as
well as voting control of the company stock with the owner not having to give
either a personal guarantee or lien against the owner's personal assets
Third party financing (consisting of
one or more of the various alternatives listed above) of a management buyout.
Financing the orderly transition of company ownership from one generation to the
next generation even in those cases where the next generation (due to age,
experience or other considerations) is not presently capable of taking on
day-to-day operations or financial control.
Financing tailored to the company's
cash flow wherein redemption {or retirement of debt} is tailored to the
company's month-to-month and even year-to-year cash flow realities instead of
level payments without regard to a company's unique temporary or long term
cash flow requirements.
{and more}
Significantly important is the reality
that most of the above listed corporate finance scenarios do NOT require the
owner's personal guarantee or pledge of the owner's personal assets.
One of the keys to successful corporate
finance for companies with revenues less than $75 million per year, is the
ability to structure a number of different alternative scenarios.
Each of these scenario consists of a
mixture of various financing vehicles. Each scenario is then analyzed and
compared to determine the best course of action considering both the near-term
and long-term objectives of the Company.
Oftentimes, companies with revenues
less than $75 million per year have neither the time nor resources necessary to
do such in-depth analysis nor keep on-going relationships with more than a few
financing sources {each of which has its own criteria}.
