Leveraging Knowledge to Build Value
We Listen, We’ve Learned and We Leverage
The pace of change globally requires you to team with a seasoned advisor who knows your industry and can offer independent advice. We guide you through a tailored transaction process leveraging our deep industry knowledge and extensive network of capital sources throughout the world.
We maintain close relationships with private equity groups, strategic buyers, mezzanine and senior lenders. Understanding those dynamic capital sources informs our advice, creating highly efficient transaction execution.
Our Philosophy
You should expect a high level of integrity and candor as it relates to transaction issues, value expectations, and deal management from your advisor. The foundational tenant of our Firm is to treat each client with the respect they deserve and align their interests with those of the capital sources.
Our Services Include...
Project Finance
We help our clients establish bankable project financings, emphasizing their ability to generate operating cashflows to service debt and provide return-on-investment. We do this by matching the changing investor appetite with the specific commercial characteristics and risk profile of each individual project. Typical project financing structures combine multiple investment instruments, which we then optimize.
Private Placements
We keep abreast of changing investor needs and preferences, and use our knowledge of industry trends to provide realistic and up-to-date advice to our clients.
We engage in rigorous due diligence prior to presenting an investment opportunity, and contact potential investors only after we are satisfied with our own evaluation of the potential investment. This approach reduces risk for all parties and provides a solid foundation for our advice.
Cross-Border: Market Entry, Strategic Partnerships, & Financing
We assist our clients in finding cross-border investors, and the right strategic partners to expand their footprint. Investors and strategic players often have a strategy to seek companies and partnerships in a variety of regions. We team with capital sources seeking diversification either geographically or across industries to find and evaluate investment opportunities. We work with strategic industry players looking for newer technologies to commercialize, and established products to add to their product line.
M&A
Chimney Rock assists companies in successfully completing mergers, acquisitions, and re-capitalizations. Our experience and network of relationships combine to help clients realize maximum value. Where we have a buy-side mandate, we assist both strategic and financial investors with identifying, reviewing, and closing investment opportunities. For sell-side projects, we have the background and industry expertise to prepare the client and assist with introducing suitable investors and then drive the transaction to closing. Throughout the process, we focus on aligning the interests and strategies of all stakeholders.
