Corporate Bonds as a Tool for Raising Capital
Corporate Bonds as a Tool for Raising Capital
Equity isn’t always the answer. For sponsors and operators seeking speed, control, and flexibility, corporate bonds offer a fast route to raise institutional debt. Through private placements, even SMEs can issue bonds without navigating public markets or complex bank committees.
Why Corporate Bonds Work
Corporate bonds allow issuers to raise capital without giving up equity. Terms can be customized — from repayment profiles to covenant levels — while offering private credit funds and alternative lenders yield and structure they want. Bonds also create capital diversification, reducing reliance on banks.
Can Smaller Companies Issue Bonds?
Yes. Private placements allow SMEs and mid-market borrowers to issue debt without public filings. Financely structures and underwrites bonds to meet institutional standards, making sure private credit funds and debt buyers engage and fund quickly.
How the Process Works
Structuring and Underwriting: Financely works with issuers to define terms investors will back — maturity, coupon, security, and covenants.
Documentation and Packaging: Offering materials and investor packs are prepared fast — usually within weeks.
Distribution: Bonds are introduced directly to desks at private credit funds and alternative debt investors. No public marketing. No wasting time.
Closing: Once terms clear and commitments are in, legal closes and funds flow. Start to finish: often 6–8 weeks.
What It Costs
Corporate bond placements are cost-efficient:
— Legal and documentation: $25K–$75K
— Placement and advisory fees: 1–3% of proceeds
— Closing and regulatory: filing, registrar, and final settlement
Compared to equity issuance or public debt, private placements keep costs lean while avoiding dilution.
