Capital Advisory

The Capital Advisory Investment Banking Group (“CAG”) at Matrix actively advises operating companies on all phases of the capital raising process by delivering bespoke financing solutions in support of client growth initiatives. In serving as an outsourced capital markets function, CAG provides high-touch, executive level resources to businesses navigating the increasingly complex debt & equity markets when raising the capital necessary to facilitate organic/acquisitive growth to major capital expenditures to shareholder liquidity. Through a structured process, our professionals work closely with clients to evaluate existing capital structure, model performance scenarios, and develop the ideal go-to-market strategy while also interfacing directly with intermediaries and investors to limit the strain on management teams/financial sponsors.

Both CAG and Matrix as a whole offer deep sector expertise across a wide range of industries and forms of capital, which is extremely important in optimizing outcomes and ensuring investor receptivity. We maintain established relationships with over 400 providers and, through consistent dialogue and transaction experience, utilize those relationships to secure the best possible combination of price, proceeds, flexibility, and strategic partnerships to meet our clients’ specific goals. We have one mission when representing our clients: unqualified advocacy.
