The key behind Shattuck Hammond's success in the private debt and equity placement market is our unique knowledge of the investor universe. We have extensive, long-standing relationships in the investor community and have developed a keen sense for the goals and objectives of each investor. Consequently, we are able to deliver unparalleled execution for our clients and consummate transactions in short time frames and on attractive terms. We know where to go for the right capital to suit the individual needs of our clients.

Shattuck Hammond helps raise capital for start-up and growing companies in our areas of industry expertise. Capital raised in a private transaction is typically used to finance internal expansion and acquisitions and can come from numerous sources depending on the company's objective and its stage of growth - angel investors, venture capitalists, institutions, lenders and other private investors. A private investment can also present a good opportunity for strategic partners such as suppliers or customers to take an equity stake in a company.

Starting at the gestation of an idea, we build strong relationships with entrepreneurs, helping us understand their industries, their businesses and their competitive advantages. Consequently, we are well positioned to help our clients raise capital from the optimal source and on the most favorable terms. We advise our clients not only on the right source of capital but also on the timing and structure of the deal. Under the client's guidance, we negotiate the terms of the financing ensuring the greatest value for the investment.

As a part of the capital raising process, we work with the client to structure a marketable transaction, prepare an information memorandum, contact a targeted group of investors and negotiate the terms of the financing on the client's behalf. As advisor, we bring credibility to the transaction and help expedite the time to market. And our role does not end with the closing of the financing; we stay integrally involved after the deal, bringing merger and acquisition ideas to our clients and assisting them in additional financing transactions.
