Corporate Finance & Capital Advisory
Renell Corporate Finance advises European mid-market companies, entrepreneurs and investors on financing, capital markets and complex capital situations. Our approach combines transaction execution with an understanding of how institutional investors, lenders and capital-market participants assess risk, structure and readiness.
We focus on selected mandates where senior involvement, direct market access and a tailored financing approach can make a meaningful difference.
Debt & Alternative Financing
Debt financing is rarely about finding capital alone. It is about finding the right structure, lender universe and risk allocation for a specific situation.
Renell Corporate Finance advises companies and sponsors on senior debt, private credit, project and asset-based financing, refinancing and other tailored debt solutions. Our work typically starts with the capital structure, cash-flow profile, security package and lender requirements before approaching the market.
We have experience with financing situations where traditional bank debt is not the obvious solution — including growth companies, infrastructure and energy-related projects, smaller institutional ticket sizes and transactions requiring a more bespoke approach. This includes assessing debt capacity, preparing financing materials, identifying suitable lenders and institutional investors, managing discussions and helping companies address key bankability questions before entering a formal financing process.
The objective is not to maximise leverage, but to establish a financing structure that is executable, resilient and aligned with the company’s strategic plans.

Equity & Growth Capital
Equity capital requires more than a compelling growth story. Investors need to understand how capital will be deployed, where value creation comes from and how a future liquidity path may develop.
Renell Corporate Finance supports companies in private placements, growth financing, strategic investor processes and selected pre-IPO situations. We work with management teams on investor positioning, equity story, funding structure and the identification of investors whose mandate, ticket size and investment horizon fit the transaction.
Our experience includes situations ranging from institutional growth capital and strategic investor searches to smaller private-market funding rounds and capital raises ahead of a potential public-market strategy. Particular attention is given to the quality of the investor universe rather than the size of a generic distribution list.
Where appropriate, we also assess whether equity should be combined with debt or other capital instruments in order to achieve a more efficient and sustainable financing structure.

Capital Markets
Accessing the public capital markets requires preparation well before the actual transaction.
Renell Corporate Finance advises companies and shareholders on capital-market readiness, listing preparation, equity and debt capital-markets transactions and selected ongoing matters of listed companies.
Our experience covers situations ranging from the preparation of stock-exchange listings and pre-IPO structures to bond-related transactions, capital increases and other corporate actions. This includes coordination with stock exchanges, legal advisers, paying agents, market makers and other transaction parties as well as the preparation of companies for the disclosure, governance and communication requirements of a public-market environment.
We also advise companies that are already listed and need to assess future financing options, capital measures or changes to their capital-market setup.
The focus is on practical execution: understanding the relevant market segment, regulatory framework, investor expectations and transaction sequence before a company commits significant time and resources to a capital-markets process.

Special Situations & Capital Readiness
Many financing problems do not start with a lack of investors. They start with a company not yet being ready for the capital it is seeking.
Renell Corporate Finance supports companies in complex financing and capital situations where the immediate transaction is only part of the challenge. This may include refinancing, changes to the capital structure, preparation for institutional investors, upcoming capital-market transactions or situations where existing financing arrangements no longer match the company’s development.
We review the financing structure from an investor and lender perspective and identify the issues that can prevent a transaction from becoming executable — for example documentation, governance, financial reporting, project maturity, security structures, investor positioning or transaction sequencing.
The objective is to move a company from “seeking capital” to being genuinely capital ready: with a clear financing strategy, credible materials, an appropriate structure and a realistic understanding of the investor universe.
In selected situations, this work can begin well before a formal transaction and continue through execution.
