Fostering Growth without Diluting Equity:
For Mining & Mineral Rights companies at critical stages of development, debt can serve as a key financing option to foster growth, with minimal dilution of equity ownership. At Synergy Capital Markets, not only do we understand the industries of our portfolio Mining & Mineral Rights companies, but we also understand the growth process - and occasionally the growing pains - they undergo.
When venture debt is used appropriately, we believe entrepreneurs gain the following benefits:
-
Able to raise capital in a way that benefits the team and the business as a result of the greater flexibility offered by venture debt than traditional forms of debt financing
-
Have more time between equity rounds to build the business and achieve critical milestones, which creates potential for greater valuation
-
Retain a larger ownership stake in the company prior to an IPO or other liquidity event
-
Achieving milestones quickly in many cases also means reaching the IPO stage more rapidly
