Capital Advisory

One capital desk.
For every transaction.

NorthBridge advises lower-middle-market companies, owners, sponsors, and acquirers on $5M–$100M+ debt capital transactions. From acquisitions and recapitalizations to structured credit and strategic growth, we develop the capital structure, engage appropriate institutional capital sources, negotiate terms, and manage execution through closing.

Business Capital

Capital for
operating businesses

Flexible debt structures for established businesses seeking capital for growth, liquidity, acquisitions, equipment, and strategic opportunities.

Acquisition, Refinancing & Recapitalization

i.

Acquisition Financing

Debt structured to acquire another company, business assets, or strategic operating units, built around the acquirer, the target, or both.

ii.

Refinancing

Replacing an existing facility to improve terms, extend maturity, or free up cash flow tied up in current debt.

iii.

Recapitalizations

Restructuring the balance sheet — buying out a partner, realigning debt and equity, or repositioning the business for its next phase.

Asset-Based & Structured Credit

iv.

Asset-Based Lending

Financing supported by receivables, inventory, equipment, or other eligible collateral, when your asset base supports more borrowing capacity than cash flow alone.

v.

Equipment Financing

Structured specifically around the purchase, replacement, or refinancing of revenue-producing equipment and machinery.

vi.

Senior Secured & Structured Credit

Senior-secured and structured facilities for financial profiles that fall outside a standard product box, structured around the collateral and the credit.

Growth & Strategic Capital

vii.

Growth Capital

Capital underwritten against the strength and consistency of revenue and cash flow to support expansion and strategic initiatives.

viii.

Term Loans

A defined principal amount, repayment period, and payment schedule. Predictable financing for investments with a clear expected return.

ix.

Business Lines of Credit

Revolving capital structured around the strategic and capacity needs of the business.

i.

Acquisition & Bridge

Financing for acquisitions and transitional assets ahead of permanent financing.

ii.

Capital for ground-up construction and substantial redevelopment.

iii.

Permanent & Refinance

Longer-duration debt for stabilized, income-producing assets.

Capital Structure

The structure follows
the transaction.

NorthBridge evaluates the transaction first — its objective, cash-flow profile, leverage, asset coverage, existing obligations, maturity profile, and execution requirements — then develops the capital structure around the opportunity. Capital is not approached as a menu of products. The structure is determined by the economics and objectives of the transaction.

i.

Transaction Objective

Acquisition, refinancing, recapitalization, strategic growth, or another defined use of capital.

ii.

Leverage Profile

Existing debt, pro forma leverage, and debt capacity relative to the transaction.

iii.

Cash-Flow Profile

EBITDA, free cash flow, and the durability of the cash flow supporting the structure.

iv.

Asset Coverage

Collateral, lien position, and the asset base available to support the capital.

v.

Existing Capital Structure

Current obligations, maturities, and how new capital fits alongside what’s already in place.

vi.

Execution Parameters

Timing, diligence, documentation, and certainty of execution required to close.

Let's structure
the right capital

Every financing request is reviewed personally. If we can help structure and raise the capital, you'll hear from us directly.
