Cross-Border Capital Markets Advisory
Raise Capital in Europe
Helping Established U.S. Companies Access European Capital Markets
For established U.S. businesses seeking approximately USD 3 million or more, European private, institutional, and capital-market channels can provide additional financing routes beyond the domestic U.S. market — assessed and structured for your specific transaction.
The Funding Challenge
U.S. companies often draw from a narrow set of capital sources
Domestic bank financing, private credit, venture and growth-equity funds, and U.S. public markets remain the default path for many American businesses. These channels are competitive, cyclical, and not always suited to every company’s profile or timing.
Additional sources of capital exist internationally. Europe, in particular, hosts a broad base of private and institutional investors that many U.S. companies have not directly approached — often because the access, structuring, and relationships required are unfamiliar, not because the capital isn’t there.
The European Opportunity
Europe offers multiple capital-market routes — the right one depends on your company
Depending on your financial profile, jurisdiction, transaction size, and investor appetite, a European route may take the form of a private placement, an institutional placement, a bond issuance, a convertible instrument, listed debt, or a broader cross-border capital-market structure.
- Private Placements
- Institutional Placements
- Bond Issuance
- Convertible Instruments
- Listed Debt
- Cross-Border Structures
There is no single “correct” structure. An initial assessment of your company and objectives is what determines which of these routes, if any, is realistic.
How It Works
A structured process, from initial contact to next steps
An initial enquiry does not guarantee acceptance, a strategy call, or funding. Each opportunity is reviewed before any next step is proposed.
Initial Contact
Your company contacts our New York office with a concise overview of the business, financing objective, and proposed capital raise.
Initial Assessment
We review the company, transaction size, financial profile, and financing objective to determine whether a European capital-markets route appears worth exploring.
Market & Structure Review
For suitable opportunities, we assess relevant European investor segments, potential transaction structures, and jurisdictions.
Strategy Call & Next Steps
Where the initial assessment indicates a potential fit, we arrange a discussion with your company to review possible routes and determine the appropriate next steps.
Who We Work With
Established operating businesses across a range of sectors
We generally work with established companies rather than very early-stage startups — businesses with an operating history, a clear financing objective, and the documentation required to be assessed by European investors.

Common questions from U.S. companies
In many cases, yes. Established U.S. operating companies can potentially access European private, institutional, or capital-market funding routes, depending on the transaction structure and applicable regulations in the relevant jurisdiction.
Confidentiality
Your Financing Plans Remain Confidential
Exploring a capital raise is often commercially sensitive. We treat every enquiry, assessment, and potential transaction with strict confidentiality.
We do not publicly disclose that a company is seeking capital, considering additional debt, evaluating a securities issuance, or exploring European financing options. The identities of our clients and the details of their transactions are not used for marketing purposes, and are not disclosed as references, without their explicit authorization.
Information may still need to be shared, on a confidential basis, with authorized advisers, counterparties, regulated institutions, or potential investors where necessary to progress an agreed transaction.
This is also why we do not publish client lists, transaction names, or client references as part of our marketing.
Confidentiality & Discretion
Your financing plans and transaction information are treated as commercially sensitive.
Regulated Framework
Capital-markets transactions are structured and executed within the applicable regulatory frameworks of the jurisdictions involved, with regulated institutions and professional advisers engaged where required.
