Match Your Need to the Right Solution
Capital Raising
Whether you are a corporate raising expansion capital, a project sponsor seeking construction finance, or a government department funding public infrastructure, we structure a facility that matches the quantum of capital required, the risk profile of the asset, and the cost of capital budget available. Our solutions span syndicated debt, equity placement, mezzanine, and blended structures.
Portfolio Diversification
Investors seeking to diversify into alternative assets, private credit, private equity, infrastructure, or venture capital, can access curated transaction flow through our co-investment platform and fund structures. We offer direct deal access for large ticket investors and pooled fund options for those seeking broader diversification with a single commitment.
Risk Mitigation
For sponsors and investors who want to reduce concentration risk, currency risk, or operational risk, we structure facilities that allocate these risks to the parties best placed to manage them. Syndication spreads credit risk across multiple lenders; blended finance brings in concessional capital to absorb first-loss risk; and our co-investment model ensures alignment between all parties.
Initial Consultation
Every client relationship begins with a consultation to understand your specific objectives, constraints, and timeline. We listen before we structure, only by understanding the full context can we recommend the most appropriate solution.
Solution Design
Our structuring team designs a bespoke financing solution based on the information gathered in the consultation. We present options with clear explanations of the trade-offs between different structures, and we work collaboratively with clients to refine the design until it fully meets their requirements.
Execution and Delivery
Once a solution is agreed, our execution team manages the entire delivery process, documentation, investor or lender engagement, regulatory compliance, and close. We maintain transparent communication throughout, providing regular updates and addressing any issues that arise promptly.
FAQ
Common Questions
How does Polinvest decide which solution is right for my situation?
We consider several factors: the nature of the asset or business being financed, the revenue profile and cash generation, the available security, the regulatory environment, and the client's appetite for different types of capital. Our team will walk you through the options and help you make an informed decision.
Can Polinvest work alongside my existing advisers?
Absolutely. We regularly co-advise with legal firms, accounting practices, and other financial advisers. We are comfortable operating as one member of a broader advisory team and will coordinate our work with your existing advisers to avoid duplication.
Does Polinvest work with clients in all countries?
We are active across more than 30 countries in Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and Europe. There are some jurisdictions where we do not currently operate due to regulatory or risk considerations. Please contact us to confirm our coverage in your specific market.
How confidential is the process?
We treat all client information as strictly confidential. We will not share your project or business information with any third party, including potential lenders or co-investors, without your prior written consent. We are happy to execute a non-disclosure agreement before any information is shared.
Our Solution Design Process
From Objective to Structure
Every client comes to us with a specific objective, raise capital, deploy capital, manage risk, or diversify. But behind that objective, there is always a more complex picture: constraints on cost of capital, preferences for control and governance, regulatory requirements, timeline pressures, and relationships to be maintained. Our solution design process starts by understanding all of these factors, not just the headline objective, because the best structure is one that optimises across all of them, not just the most visible one.
We have seen clients who came to us wanting equity financing leave with a debt structure that better preserved their ownership and control. We have seen clients who came to us wanting short-term bridge capital agree to a longer-term facility that provided more stability and lower total cost. In each case, the outcome was better than the client's initial request because we took the time to understand the full picture before recommending a structure. This is the value of a truly independent adviser who is not confined to a single product type.
Our international experience adds significant value in the solution design phase. Having structured transactions across 30+ countries, we understand how different regulatory frameworks, legal systems, and market conventions affect what is structurally possible and practically achievable. A solution that works in one market may be legally impermissible or practically unworkable in another. Our team's direct country experience means we identify these constraints early and design solutions that work in practice, not just in theory.
