Equity-Linked Bridge Financing

Equity-Linked Bridge Financing

Equity-Linked Bridge Financing

Need a bridge but short on collateral? We arrange short-term funding paired with equity participation and strict controls. Cash sits in escrow, drawdowns follow milestones, and if the target deal cannot close, the investor converts or steps in. This protects capital while letting your transaction move forward.

What You Get

Bridge Capital
Ticket size USD 2M to USD 50M. Tenor 3 to 12 months. Use cases include deposits, EPC and contractor advances, option payments, permit fees, and closing costs before long-term funding arrives.
Equity Upside For Investors
Warrants, conversion rights, or a small equity stake tied to milestones. Terms are sized to risk and timeline so the cost stays aligned with delivery.
Hard Controls
Escrowed funds, controlled accounts, use-of-proceeds checks, assignment of funded contracts, and step-in rights if timelines slip.

How It Works

1

Underwrite The Event

We review the take-out path such as bank debt, JV, equity raise, or M&A close. We validate contracts, permits, budgets, and timelines. If the exit is weak, the deal does not proceed.

2

Lock Use Of Proceeds

Funds sit in escrow. Drawdowns pay named invoices only. Milestones trigger releases. No payroll or unrelated payables unless disclosed and approved.

3

Protect The Bridge

We assign funded contracts and open a blocked receipts account where relevant. Negative pledge stops double use of the same asset. Investors receive warrants or a conversion right sized to risk.

4

Close Or Convert

If the take-out closes, the bridge is repaid and equity rights adjust as agreed. If it does not close by the long-stop date, conversion or step-in rights become active so investors are not stranded.
