PRIVATELY HELD COMPANIES
Jannu Capital helps privately held companies evaluate financing alternatives, prepare for lender review, select relevant capital providers, and manage a disciplined financing process.
Privately held companies may encounter significant financing decisions only periodically—during an acquisition, refinancing, expansion, ownership transition, or liquidity event.
Management may understand the business deeply while having limited current exposure to lender mandates, financing structures, underwriting expectations, and private-credit market conditions.
Jannu provides focused support for those decisions without requiring the company to build a permanent internal capital markets function.
Capital for expansion, new locations, technology, equipment, product development, and other strategic initiatives.
Debt capital supporting acquisitions, add-ons, ownership transitions, and strategic combinations.
A review of available alternatives when existing debt approaches maturity or no longer supports the company’s objectives.
Facilities supporting receivables, inventory, seasonality, operating liquidity, and changes in the company’s working-capital cycle.
Financing considered in connection with recapitalizations, ownership transitions, or other shareholder-related objectives.
Structures in which equipment, receivables, inventory, real estate, or other assets materially influence the available solution.
Clarify the amount, use of proceeds, timing, existing obligations, and management’s principal objectives.
Assess how cash flow, leverage, collateral, ownership, and flexibility requirements may affect the financing structure.
Organize the information, narrative, strengths, risks, and principal questions likely to matter to prospective lenders.
Select relevant capital providers, coordinate controlled engagement, support management discussions, and maintain process discipline.
The company remains in control of information sharing, lender selection, commercial decisions, and whether to proceed.
Jannu coordinates the process, but management determines the company's objectives, approves outreach, presents the business, and selects the financing path it considers appropriate.
Independent advice should strengthen management's decision—not replace it.
Jannu evaluates each inquiry individually. Company size alone does not determine whether an engagement is appropriate.
Lower-middle-market and middle-market companies
Founder-, family-, or management-owned businesses
Companies considering approximately $2.5 million to $50 million or more of financing, with selective exceptions
Businesses facing a material financing, acquisition, refinancing, liquidity, or ownership event
Jannu Capital does not make loans, commit capital, approve credit, provide legal or tax advice, handle funds, or guarantee financing.
Prospective lenders independently evaluate the company, conduct diligence, propose terms, and approve or decline a transaction.
