Lantern Capital Advisors:  How We Raise Capital


Lantern Capital Advisors team of professionals work as long as it takes to successfully secure business financing for our clients on an hourly fee consulting basis.  Our typical business plan takes two to four weeks to complete prior to distribution to qualified and targeted institutions and funding sources.  Based on the financing required, clients can expect funding in three to six months post project kick off. 


We don't bill on a percentage of financing basis because we feel that those methods have a way of inflating themselves without the value being delivered in the end.     


Our engagements and payment schedules are structured to allow our clients to manage cash flow and demonstrate our commitment and investment to the capital raising process.

 

Once institutions deliver financing proposals to our clients, we work with our clients to ensure they understand all of the financing solutions presented, analyze the proposals to compare them against one another, negotiate the proposals on behalf of our clients, and consult with our clients throughout due diligence and funding in order to secure the best outcome for the business owner. 


Our Unique Approach, Objectivity, and Unmatched Value


Most other financial advisors raise capital using an investment banking fee formula.  Through this approach, the advisor is typically paid a large cash fee and receives company stock.  The advisor’s compensation often varies substantially depending on the type and amount of capital raised (i.e. equity vs. debt).  We believe this approach results in excess compensation to the advisor, creates conflicts of interest and needlessly dilutes the Company’s existing equity holders.

 

Lantern’s project fees require no additional stock or equity compensation.   


Lantern Capital Advisors performs all work on a hourly fee-only basis.  Fees are scoped at the project onset.  Our consultants work with our clients achieving each milestone to ensure their satisfaction along the way.  Simply put, we are committed to deliver superior service and guarantee results.  Our success is measured not on fees collected, but on deals getting done.

Management Buyout Strategy

August, 2008

Chris Risey - Atlanta

Abstract: 

Private equity firms particularly those that focus on buying smaller companies (less than $100 million in value), will often structure the financing of a buyout utilizing limited amounts of their own equity and aggressive debt structures. While such an approach can create spectacular returns for their investors, management and the sellers can often end up feeling shortchanged. Thankfully, owners and managers can use their own creative buyout strategies to create substantially more value for both buyer (management) and seller (owner).

Chris Risey - Atlanta

Abstract: 

Business owners often overlook selling their company to management as a possible exit strategy.  But for solid companies with good cash flows, selling your company to management may yield a higher financial value for the owner and a much brighter future for the business, management, and the seller.  This white paper discusses the benefits of the strategy of selling to management, and illustrates it with an example of a company that successfully completed a leveraged management buyout after proactively pursuing other alternatives.
