“With Raeth as a permanent partner, we have specific expertise that we don't need to have in-house.”
BC Capital hires Raeth as permanent debt advisor
BC Capital is an independent investment fund that focuses on solid small and medium-sized (family) companies in the Netherlands and the Benelux.
For their acquisitions, financing and fund structures, they rely on Raeth as a permanent debt advisor: from the initial strategic exploration to the final disbursement of the financing.
The challenge
The financing landscape is constantly changing, and as an investor, BC Capital wants to be able to act quickly, carefully and with the right substantiation. BC Capital was looking for a permanent partner for everything related to financing, banking policy, deal structures and fund financing. By adding this specific knowledge to their compact team, they have the entire package for their customers.
Our role
We act as a permanent debt advisor for BC Capital. In that role:
- Are we involved from the indicative bid to structure the financing options.
- We provide full financial support to banks, including analyses, perspectives and financing structures.
- We coordinate the entire process with financiers: from application to disbursement.
- We advise on additional instruments for investment and family funds, such as fund-level financing.
Our expertise in structuring acquisition financing, leveraged buyouts and fund financing makes BC Capital stronger, more agile and better substantiated in every process.
The process
Two recent trajectories illustrate our way of working:
- Acquisition of NL Security Group
In this transaction, we developed a complete financial strategic document, including analysis, perspectives and funding structure. We presented the plan to several banks and achieved optimal conditions at one of the major banks. - Acquisition of Fine Mechanical Industry in the North Netherlands (FINN)
In one of the first acquisitions in the defence-related industry, our current policy knowledge and good contacts with the major banks ensured a smoothly structured takeover. An important step in BC Capital's buy-and-build strategy in the machining segment.
The result
Thanks to the long-term partnership, BC Capital has a permanent debt advisor who adds speed, sharpness and continuity to every deal process. Bids are substantiated faster and more strongly, the position towards financiers is noticeably stronger and transactions are realized with optimal financing structures.
