Investment Banking

Norrwin’s investment banking offering is built around structuring, investor access and execution support for transactions where independent financial advice can materially improve outcomes. We provide four primary services: raising capital, advising on mergers and acquisitions, securities sales and trading, and general advisory.

1. Capital raising

We assist in raising funds for a range of objectives, such as acquiring another company, reducing debt, expanding existing operations or financing a specific project. Capital can include some combination of debt, common equity, preferred equity and hybrid securities such as convertible debt or debt with warrants.

Although many people associate raising capital with public stock offerings, a great deal of capital is raised through private placements with institutions, specialised investment funds and private individuals. We work with the client to structure the transaction to meet specific objectives while remaining attractive to investors.

1. Define

   Funding objective and quantum.

2. Structure

   Debt, equity or hybrid.

3. Position

   Investment case, materials and outreach.

4. Execute

   Negotiation, documentation and close.

2. Mergers & acquisitions

Projects include the acquisition of a specific firm, the sale of a company or a subsidiary, and assistance in identifying, structuring and executing a merger or joint venture. In each case we provide a thorough analysis of the entity bought or sold, together with a valuation range and a recommended structure.

Who needs our services?

Any firm contemplating a significant transaction can benefit from independent advice. Large corporations often have sophisticated finance teams, but an investment bank still brings objectivity, a valuable contact network and efficient use of client personnel, and is vitally interested in seeing the transaction close.

Most small and medium-sized companies do not have a large in-house team and can be at a disadvantage against larger competitors. We give them the financial and transaction experience to initiate and execute a major transaction without adding permanent overhead. Norrwin takes part in the project day to day, and we have a wide network of relevant contacts, such as potential investors or companies that could be approached for acquisition.

Ongoing support

Having worked on a transaction, we become intimately familiar with your business. Afterwards we remain a trusted advisor you can call on, informally, for advice and support. We make sure the transaction closes in an efficient time frame and on terms that give maximum value to the client and its associates, so management can focus on running the business rather than the day-to-day details of the deal.
