Raising equity and loan capital

There could be a number of reasons why you might need to raise capital for your company - from expanding your business, updating your fixed assets or meeting a need for greater working capital. Depending on your area of operation, the nature of your assets, your loan burden and your specific capital requirements, you may need to raise either equity or loan capital, or even a combination of both.

Raising loan capital generally means taking out a bank loan or emitting bonds. Raising equity capital means divesting a share to an external investor. Between these two options are ‘mezzanine instruments’, which in terms of their conditions are similar to both - equity and loan capital. We will be happy to help you come up with the best solution for raising capital and the most suitable conditions for implementing it.

Applying for EU funding

Between 2007 and 2013 Estonia has 53.3 billion kroons in structural funds at its disposal. Companies in virtually every area of operation can apply for financial support from these funds. Unfortunately, the application process is often extremely complicated – all manner of paperwork needs to be completed, evidentiary documents need to be obtained and so on. Since our team has personal experience of dealing with eurocracy, we will be happy to help you run the gauntlet of terms, conditions and requirements in order to obtain the financial support.

Representing companies in financial institutions

There are very few companies who do not need to deal with banks. However, it is sometimes very difficult to even get an appointment with an account manager or analyst, and when you do, their questions and the terms they use are often complicated and leave you confused. Our team’s extensive experience in the finance sector means that we have personal contacts within banks and understand and speak the same language as they do. We will be more than happy to act as an attorney in your dealings with banks, arranging things for you quickly, professionally and effectively.
