Engagement

Fixed-fee capital structuring

A scoped advisory engagement to design how capital enters the deal — instruments, priority, and process — before you open a raise or go to market.

Deliverables

What you walk away with

Concrete work product — not a deck for the sake of a deck. Advisory only; not an offer of securities.

Fixed-fee advisory. Scope boundaries documented at kickoff. Placement or success-based work, if any, is a separate engagement through the affiliated broker-dealer.

Fit

Who it suits — and who it doesn’t

Good fit

  • Sponsors or owners designing a raise before marketing
  • Teams that want structure clarity before counsel drafts
  • Lower middle market transactions where process discipline matters
  • Situations that may involve securities and need BD-aware planning

Not a fit

  • Anyone seeking guaranteed outcomes or fundraising “results”
  • Retail investment advice or portfolio recommendations
  • Public-company IR or large-cap M&A processes
  • Engagements that require marketing a specific securities offering on this site
FAQ

Questions we hear first

Is this a securities offering?

No. This is an advisory engagement about how capital may be structured. Any offer or sale of securities, if applicable, would occur separately through Finalis Securities LLC, Member FINRA / SIPC.

What is included in the fixed fee?

The scoped deliverables listed above and a defined number of working sessions. Out-of-scope items (placement, ongoing retainer, or transaction execution) are priced separately.

Do you take success fees on this engagement?

Not on the fixed-fee structuring work. If a subsequent placement engagement is opened through the affiliated broker-dealer, compensation for that work follows BD agreements — disclosed separately.

How do we start?

Schedule a conversation. We confirm fit, share a short statement of work, and kick off only after both sides agree on scope.
