Eaton Square is excited to announce it is growing into New York with a strategic alliance with SPP Capital Partners, LLC to provide private market debt for US, Canadian and Asia Pacific companies.
Leading the team in New York is Stefan Shaffer. SPP Capital Partners has been focused on raising private debt and equity for corporate and equity sponsor clients for over 30 years. SPP has completed more than 550 transactions globally representing over $25 billions of capital and has a volume of approximately $1 billion annually. The firm’s extensive relationships with more than 700 lenders and investors across all major constituencies in the private capital markets and source capital enable the firm to tailor a solution to each client’s particular capital objectives.
Private market debt can be an important source of funds for:
- Growth capital
- Acquisitions
- Refinancing and debt structure reviews
- Dividend and share recapitalizations
Importantly, access to non-bank lenders, and some commercial banks, will assist Eaton Square’s mid-market services companies as these lenders are increasingly “enterprise” vs. asset-based in their investment analyses. For these lenders, EBITDA, “Adjusted EBITDA”, cash-flow available for debt service, and getting comfortable with the quality and consistency of a company’s earnings have replaced the liquidation value of hard assets as the basis for providing capital to clients.
This is an important next step in Eaton Square’s growth in the US as it grows our physical reach from San Francisco and LA to the East Coast and broadens our offering from M&A, equity capital raising to include debt provision services.
“I am excited to welcome the SPP Capital Partners’ capabilities to service clients looking to grow without selling equity, especially at this time when debt is increasingly available from non-banks. An NYC presence is also an important point of access for our US and Asia Pacific clients,” Reece Adnams, Eaton Square CEO.
“SPP is delighted to have the opportunity to partner with Eaton Square; given the globalization of the private capital markets, Eaton Square is the perfect M&A counterpart to our capital formation activities,” Stefan Shaffer, SPP Capital Managing Partner.
