COLOSSAL FINANCE ─── CAPABILITIES / CORPORATE FINANCE
─── CORPORATE FINANCE · TYPICALLY GOLD
Capital structure as strategic instrument.Not procurement event.
Corporate finance is what we do when the capital decision affects more than the next quarter. Acquisition financing, leveraged structures, multi-entity arrangements, growth capital — these decisions shape the next decade of the business.
─── WHEN THIS MATTERS
You might be here because…
You're executing a buy-and-build strategy.
Multiple acquisitions over 3-5 years require a capital structure designed for the entire program, not just the first deal.
You're restructuring for tax, succession, or strategic optionality.
The business structure needs to change, and the capital structure needs to change with it.
You're considering equity introduction alongside debt.
Growth capital, management buyouts, succession planning — situations where the optimal structure involves both debt and equity.
─── HOW WE STRUCTURE IT
Advisory, not transaction.
Corporate finance engagements are advisory relationships, not transaction executions. We work alongside you and your other advisors to design capital structures that serve long-term strategy.
Acquisition financing
Structuring debt to fund acquisitions while preserving capacity for future deals and operational investment.
Leveraged structures
Designing appropriate leverage for management buyouts, private equity partnerships, and recapitalisations.
Multi-entity coordination
Capital structures that serve complex group arrangements with multiple operating entities.
Equity-debt integration
Coordinating debt structures with equity capital raises, management incentives, and shareholder arrangements.
─── THE LENDER LANDSCAPE
Corporate capital requires corporate relationships.
The lenders who do corporate finance are different from those who do commercial lending. We maintain relationships across the spectrum.
Major Bank Corporate Divisions
Established relationships, full-service capability, preference for simpler structures.
Mid-Market Corporate Lenders
More flexibility on structure, deeper industry expertise, relationship-driven.
Private Credit Funds
Appetite for complexity, higher leverage, bespoke arrangements.
Family Office & Specialty Capital
Long-term perspective, strategic alignment, patient capital.

Australian services sector — buy-and-build program.
A services sector operator was executing a buy-and-build strategy, with three acquisitions planned over 18 months. Each deal was fundable individually, but the challenge was designing a capital structure that served the entire program.
We designed a leveraged acquisition facility with accordion capacity for the second and third deals. The structure included covenant step-downs tied to integration milestones, equity co-investment from the founding shareholders, and refinance provisions for the completed group.
All three acquisitions have settled, and the business is now preparing for its next growth phase.
