Private Placement & Fundraising (Debt, Mezz, Equity)
Financely partners with companies and sponsors to raise capital via private placements. Whether you need senior debt, mezzanine financing, or growth equity, we structure, target, and place your raise with institutions, family offices, and strategic partners.
Why Use a Private Placement?
Public listings or IPOs are expensive, slow, and subject to regulatory exposure. Private placements allow you to access capital efficiently from sophisticated, pre-qualified investors with fewer disclosure burdens. You retain control, negotiate terms directly, and get faster execution.

Frequently Asked Questions
How large must my raise be?
We typically work on mandates beginning at USD 5 million and above, but exceptions can be made for high-potential smaller deals with strong fundamentals.
Do you invest capital yourself?
No. We act as structuring, advisory, and placement agents. We do not commit proprietary capital or take principal risk in your raise.
What are your fees?
Our fees are structured as a mix of retainer and success fee, typically aligned with industry norms. The exact terms depend on deal complexity, capital structure, and investor market dynamics.
How long does the process take?
From mandate to close, most private placements complete in 8 to 16 weeks, depending on diligence, regulatory requirements, and investor engagement.
Are private placements regulated?
Yes — private placements are regulated. You must comply with securities regulation in relevant jurisdictions (e.g. SEC Rule 506 in the U.S.). We coordinate legal structuring and ensure compliance across jurisdictions.
Financely provides advisory and placement services. All engagements are subject to legal, regulatory, and investor approval. We do not underwrite or commit capital. Terms, fees, and viability depend on diligence outcomes and capital markets conditions.
