    Private Placements   
    The private placement services of Lenvest typically involve a range of straight debt, straight equity, debt with equity, and other creative structuring arrangements.  Such financing might be used for continued business growth, acquiring another company, or for a management team to purchase the company they have been operating.  Lenvest helps clients determine the optimum structuring and pricing as well as in making the initial contact and presentation to sources of debt and equity financing.  Frequently, Lenvest will assist clients with preparation of the Financing Proposal, or Business Plan and hold preliminary discussions with the potential sources of funding to establish their level of interest. 
    Bank Financing   
    For many private and closely held public companies, bank financing is often the preferred source.  Lenvest's relationships with many in the banking community enable us to match our clients with appropriate sources of financing and advise on the terms proposed for each loan.      

    Asset-Based Financing  
    When borrowing requirements of private and closely held companies exceed the capabilities of the typical banking institution, Lenvest can often facilitate secured financing from lenders that specialize in providing loans backed more by the assets of the borrower than historical cash flows of the business.  In other situations, Lenvest can facilitate financing from mezzanine lenders which typically results in a combination of secured lending with equity opportunities.  Lenvest's contacts include the secured lending departments of leading U.S. and multinational banks, as well as commercial finance companies and specialized asset-based lenders.   

    Venture Capital Financing & LBO Financing  
    While the lines have blurred between venture capital firms, LBO firms, mezzanine lenders, and merchant banking firms, making it more difficult for those not regularly in the financing business to determine which firm to approach, Lenvest's experience and established relationships enables us to quickly determine which firms are likely to be interested in providing our client's with the desired financing.
