RAISE CAPITAL
Structured Capital Solutions for Businesses and Projects
Access tailored financing structures for business expansion, international trade, real estate, infrastructure, and other qualified projects.
Our team works with project sponsors, businesses, institutions, and financial partners to evaluate capital requirements, identify suitable funding structures, and coordinate the parties involved in bringing a transaction forward.
Capital Built Around the Project
Every capital requirement is different.
Some businesses require working capital. Others need financing for expansion, acquisitions, international trade, construction, infrastructure, or long-term development.
Rather than applying the same structure to every transaction, we begin by reviewing the project, intended use of funds, business plan, feasibility, available security, and proposed repayment strategy.
Based on that review, we help determine which capital structure may be appropriate and coordinate the process with relevant financial, legal, banking, and institutional parties.

03Business and SME FinancingCapital for Growth and Operations

- Operational requirements
Our role is to review the proposed use of funds, evaluate the transaction, and help identify an appropriate financing pathway.
Financing is subject to underwriting, due diligence, documentation, third-party approval, and the availability of a suitable funding source.
04Banking and Credit Instruments
Bank Guarantees
A bank guarantee, commonly referred to as a BG, is a bank-issued commitment that may support contractual obligations, financing arrangements, trade transactions, or project requirements.
Depending on the transaction, a bank guarantee may be considered for:
- Credit enhancement
- Loan support
- Project obligations
- Joint ventures
- Commercial contracts
- International trade
- Performance or payment requirements
Our team helps qualified clients evaluate the proposed use of the instrument and coordinate the documentation and participating parties.
Standby Letters of Credit
A Standby Letter of Credit, or SBLC, is a bank-issued undertaking that may provide additional payment or performance support if the applicant fails to meet an agreed obligation.
An SBLC may be used in connection with:
- Commercial financing
- Trade transactions
- Project finance
- Credit enhancement
- Joint ventures
- Contractual obligations
- Approved investment structures
The availability, issuing institution, cost, terms, and permitted use of an SBLC depend on the specific transaction and the approval of the relevant financial institutions.
Documentary Letters of Credit
A Documentary Letter of Credit, also known as an L/C or DLC, is commonly used in international trade.
Under this structure, a bank agrees to make payment to the seller after the required shipping or performance documents have been submitted and verified in accordance with the letter of credit.
This helps reduce certain transaction risks for both:
- The buyer or importer
- The seller or exporter
Documentary letters of credit can be particularly useful when the parties are located in different countries or do not have an established commercial relationship.
05Debt and Note Programs
Registered Bonds
Raising Capital Through Debt Issuance
For qualified larger transactions, capital may be raised through the issuance and sale of registered bonds or notes.
A potential structure may involve:
- Reviewing the issuer and project
- Preparing the required financial and legal materials
- Coordinating with a brokerage or placement partner
- Structuring the proposed debt issuance
- Introducing the offering through approved broker-dealer channels
- Exploring settlement or listing through recognized clearing systems
Registered bond programs are intended for larger capital requirements, with transaction minimums applying.
All bond offerings are subject to legal, regulatory, underwriting, investor, and market approval.
Medium- and Long-Term Notes
Medium-Term Notes and Long-Term Notes may be considered as part of a broader debt-financing strategy.
Depending on the issuer and transaction, note programs may support:
- Business expansion
- Project development
- Refinancing
- Infrastructure
- Institutional capital requirements
- Long-term investment programs
The appropriate maturity, interest structure, collateral, repayment terms, and issuance process are determined on a transaction-specific basis.
Structured Note Programs
For certain qualified institutional or large-scale projects, a structured note may combine debt financing with defined repayment, collateral, guarantee, or investment features.
Certain structured note programs may be intended for larger financing requirements and involve support from a major financial institution. A minimum transaction size of approximately $20 million may apply.
Any structured note transaction would require independent confirmation of:
- The issuer
- The guarantor
- The collateral
- The offering documents
- The repayment structure
- The relevant legal entities
- The participating financial institutions
06Financial Instrument MonetizationConverting Eligible Financial Instruments into Usable Capital
Some clients may already hold an eligible bank or financial instrument but require liquidity for a business or project.
Instrument monetization generally refers to using an approved financial instrument as part of a financing or credit arrangement.
Eligible transactions may involve instruments such as:
- Bank guarantees
- Standby letters of credit
- Medium-term notes
- Commercial bonds
- Other verified financial assets
Before a monetization transaction can proceed, the instrument must be authenticated and reviewed by the relevant banks, legal representatives, compliance teams, and financing parties.
The existence of an instrument does not automatically guarantee that financing will be available.
07Capital StructuringMore Than an Introduction to Funding
Raising capital requires more than connecting a borrower with a potential source of funds.
A transaction may require coordination among:
- Project sponsors
- Borrowers
- Investors
- Lenders
- Banks
- Broker-dealers
- Attorneys
- Accountants
- Compliance professionals
- Underwriters
- Fund managers
- Government or institutional representatives
Our role is to help organize the transaction, clarify the proposed structure, prepare the project for review, and coordinate communication among the relevant parties.
How the Process Works
01Initial Consultation
We begin by discussing:
- The amount of capital required
- The intended use of funds
- The project or business
- The preferred financing timeline
- Available collateral or credit support
- The proposed repayment strategy
- The jurisdictions involved
02Preliminary Review
Our team reviews the available information to determine whether the opportunity may be suitable for further consideration.
Initial materials may include:
- Executive summary
- Business plan
- Feasibility study
- Financial statements
- Financial projections
- Use-of-funds schedule
- Ownership information
- Project documentation
- Collateral information
- Proof of funds
- Existing financing agreements
03KYC and AML Verification
Before a transaction can proceed, all participating parties must complete the required identity, corporate, compliance, and anti-money-laundering reviews.
Depending on the transaction, this may include:
- Identification documents
- Corporate registration records
- Beneficial ownership information
- Source-of-funds information
- Source-of-wealth information
- Professional background
- Tax and legal documentation
- Banking information
Participating parties must be vetted through KYC and AML procedures before transactions begin.
04Structure Selection
After reviewing the transaction, we help determine which structure may be appropriate.
Potential options may include:
- Business financing
- Project finance
- Trade finance
- Documentary letters of credit
- Standby letters of credit
- Bank guarantees
- Debt issuance
- Registered bonds
- Medium- or long-term notes
- Structured notes
- Instrument monetization
- A combination of financing solutions
Not every structure is suitable for every client or project.
05Institutional and Professional Coordination
When a transaction is considered suitable, we coordinate with the relevant legal, financial, banking, brokerage, underwriting, or institutional parties.
Additional documentation, independent due diligence, legal opinions, financial reviews, or third-party approvals may be required.
06Approval and Closing
A transaction proceeds only after the required parties have completed their review and approved the proposed structure.
Depending on the transaction, funding may be:
- Delivered at closing
- Released in stages
- Provided in tranches
- Tied to project milestones
- Subject to ongoing reporting
- Conditional upon continued compliance
Submission of a project does not constitute approval or a commitment to provide financing.
