Capital Raise Advisory

Both, and the decision comes first. Before you commit to a path, we give an unbiased read on whether equity or debt actually fits your situation, so you raise the right instrument for the plan rather than a forced product. Only once that call is made do we take the raise to market and drive it to close.

Owners and founders raising capital to fund growth, finance an acquisition, or recapitalize, as well as teams weighing equity against debt who want an honest read before they decide. It fits situations where the growth case is real but the right capital structure, and terms that will not bite later, are still open questions.

As early as the point where you know a raise is coming but have not yet committed to equity or debt. Engaging before you approach the market lets us get the financials clean, build a defensible model, and shape a fundable story so you enter conversations credible in the room. Coming in early also prevents a stalled, leaky process later.

A disciplined path from decision to a funded close: an equity-versus-debt call, raise-ready preparation, targeted outreach to investors and lenders whose mandate truly fits, and negotiated structure, economics, and covenants built to hold up through tough quarters. Throughout, you keep running the business while we run the raise to close.

Since 1983, Inglewood has run senior-only, low-overhead engagements, so a senior partner does the work rather than handing your raise to a junior team learning on the job. That means experienced judgment on capital structure and terms, and one team that runs diligence and documents through to close with no handoffs. We approach only investors and lenders whose mandate, size, and stage genuinely fit, not a mass blast.
