Capital+

Mergr provides liquidity to owners who want to access capital without giving up control. Our platform combines technology, financial data, and investment analysis to structure flexible solutions around each owner's specific goals and circumstances.

One Mandate

Expand access to capital.

We believe owners should have more ways to access institutional-quality capital without being limited to traditional loans or forced into an outright sale.

Approach

Start with the business.

We evaluate the company, ownership, financial performance, market position, growth opportunities, and capital requirements before determining the appropriate investment structure.

Results

Turn value into capital.

We structure investments that convert business value into usable capital for owners and companies, creating a path from today's value to tomorrow's growth.

Philosophy

How we think.

Three principles guide Mergr: capital should expand an owner's options, investment structures should reflect each business, and technology should make private capital more efficient to access and deploy.

Optionality matters.

Owners should be able to access the value they have created without treating a full company sale as the only source of liquidity. We provide another path between holding and exiting.

Structure matters.

Every business has different cash flows, ownership dynamics, growth opportunities, and capital requirements. We design investments around those economics rather than forcing businesses into standardized financing.

Technology matters.

Private capital remains fragmented and information-intensive. Mergr uses technology and data to streamline diligence, evaluate opportunities, structure investments, and create a more efficient capital experience.

Strategies

Four ways we invest.

We provide capital across the most important moments in an owner's journey, from unlocking existing equity to funding acquisitions and accelerating expansion.

Owner Liquidity

We provide capital to owners who want to convert a portion of their existing business value into cash without selling the company outright.

Growth Equity

We invest directly into businesses pursuing expansion, acquisitions, new markets, technology, hiring, or other initiatives that can materially increase enterprise value.

Structured Capital

We combine equity and credit characteristics to create customized investments with defined economics, downside protection, and participation in future business value.

Minority Recapitalizations

We invest minority capital to support shareholder distributions, ownership transitions, and balance-sheet restructuring—providing liquidity and flexibility without requiring owners to sell control or give up future upside.

Built around the business.

Our underwriting framework focuses on four areas that determine whether a company can support new capital and create additional value.

Business

Fundamentals

We assess the market, competitive position, customers, management team, revenue model, margins, and durability of the underlying business.

Financial

Performance

We analyze revenue, EBITDA, cash conversion, working capital, leverage, liquidity, and historical performance to establish a clear financial baseline.

Capital

Capacity

We determine how much capital the business can responsibly support and how new capital should interact with existing debt, equity, and ownership.

Upside

Potential

We identify operational, strategic, and market opportunities capable of increasing earnings, expanding scale, and creating additional enterprise value.

Process

From opportunity to capital.

Our technology-enabled process combines efficient data collection with fundamental investment analysis to move from initial evaluation to funded transaction.

01
Evaluate
We review company information, financial performance, ownership, capital requirements, and objectives to determine whether an opportunity fits our investment criteria.
02
Design
We model potential structures and determine the appropriate amount, security, economics, governance, and liquidity mechanics for the transaction.
03
Execute
We complete diligence, documentation, approvals, and funding through a streamlined process designed around speed, clarity, and certainty.
04
Monitor
We track financial performance, business developments, capital deployment, and investment milestones throughout the life of the investment.

Communication

A better capital experience.

Private capital should be straightforward to understand and easy to navigate. We combine direct communication, transparent economics, and technology-enabled execution throughout the investment process.

Clear terms

We explain the economics, structure, rights, obligations, and potential outcomes of each investment clearly before capital is committed.

Direct access

Owners work directly with the investment team throughout evaluation, structuring, execution, and ongoing portfolio management.

Efficient execution

Our technology reduces unnecessary friction across data collection, diligence, analysis, documentation, and transaction management.

Responsive capital

We move decisively when an opportunity fits our criteria, with an emphasis on clear decisions and reliable execution.

Who we serve.

We work with established private businesses and the people who advise them when conventional financing or a full sale does not provide the right solution.

Owner-Operators

Business owners seeking liquidity, growth capital, acquisitions, or a more flexible source of capital.

Founders

Founders seeking to access the value of a successful business while continuing to participate in its future.

Management Teams

Management teams pursuing expansion or strategic initiatives that require capital beyond traditional financing.

Advisors

Investment bankers, M&A advisors, attorneys, and other intermediaries representing businesses seeking alternative capital solutions.
