An alternative to bank financing characterized by flexibility and speed (on average 3-10 weeks to making funds available)
Senior debt can be used for investments, acquisitions of enterprises or simply strengthening of working capital during periods of rapid business growth
Financing is available to companies with strong business model and regular cash flows
Repayment of the main financing amount is possible in a bullet at the end of the funding period. This allows the company to accumulate cash or increase working capital
Typically, the funding period does not exceed 5 years
The company's assets may serve as the security for the financing
The perfect solution for time or structural constraints if more debt is needed. It allows the company to incur senior and junior debt in a single financing, entirely provided by CVI
Facilitates the process of obtaining financing for new projects or optimizing the existing financial structure
It allows the company to replace many various forms of financing with one reliable partner and one solution
Unitranche can be used to refinance existing liabilities, finance takeovers, working capital increase or recapitalization
Repayment takes place from current cash flows over a period of up to 5 years in installments or bullet payment at maturity
Financing is typically secured by the assets of the finance company
The most flexible type of financing offered by funds managed by CVI
It allows accepting risk beyond senior/junior debt financing. This is showed, among others in repayment sources, where in addition to cash flows, it is also possible to pay off by refinancing, or the sale of the entire company
This financing is usually provided for up to 5 years
It serves such purposes as investments, acquisitions, buyouts, recapitalizations, restructurings or project financings
It is allowed to partially capitalize interest (a “payment-in-kind” structure) and repay the whole at the end of the financing period
It is also possible to include variable payment based on growth in equity value, such as warrants or other capital instruments
Funds managed by CVI can also invest in debt convertible into equity or directly into the equity of a given company
In direct investments into capital (such as "private equity"), we usually have minority stakes, leaving operational management of the company in the hands of majority shareholders
We have an investment horizon of 3 to 5 years and we expect an agreement concerning the proposed exit path
Equity financing can also be combined with mezzanine or junior financing
Funds managed by CVI can also provide financing for entities in a difficult liquidity situation or in restructuring
The available collateral plays a key role in these transactions
CVI is able to engage in comprehensive restructuring processes, for example by buying debts from other financing providers or suppliers who want to release their funds without waiting for the restructuring process to succeed
In such cases, the funding provided by the funds managed by CVI can be in the form of debt or private equity and is always individually tailored to the given situation
