OPERATIONAL EXPERTISE - FINANCIAL PARTNERSHIP
Anchor Capital Holdings invests in special situations, including divestures,
non-core assets, distressed or non-financial transitions.
-
Acquisition: Acquisition and operational expertise are the core of our business. We structure virtually every type of transaction available for a boutique private equity firm. Our experience is our competitive advantage and ensures we price a transaction for operational and financial optimization.
-
Structured finance: Structured finance offers a transfer of risk through securitizing financial assets (accounts receivable, credit card receivables, pre-paid assets, etc.). This securitization provides liquidity to businesses while in a transition period.
-
mezzanine debt: When looking at financing options, business owners often do not want to give up control. Mezzanine debt offers a unique solution because it provides capital to a business without the excessive burden of a high-risk interest rate. Mezzanine debt can offset a high-risk interest rate with an equity component. Typically this type of debt is subordinated to bank debt and can fit perfectly into a growing company’s balance sheet.
-
recapitalization: A recapitalization can be utilized in a variety of situations, including a desire by current shareholders to partially exit an investment or the re-balancing of a company’s cash position. In its essence, recapitalization involves a substantial change in a company’s capital structure through an adjustment of equity and debt, executed as a leveraged recapitalization or buyout, with an end of goal of stabilization and improved liquidity.
Our Approach
Anchor Capital Holdings works under the Operating Partner concept commonly found in Private Equity. We engage the company at the Board and Executive level. This engagement is deliberate, focused, and determines clear, fact-based decision making information. Engagements involve time on site, partnerships with management and review of all operational processes.
We take the reconnaissance approach. Review every process, look for items out of place, enhance optimal processes, and maintain objectivity. Armed with intentional, unbiased information, our next step is providing clear and concise reporting. Timely and accurate decisions begin with fact-based reporting. When necessary or requested, we will take a more deliberate hands-on approach with the management team or board of directors.
CONTROL INVESTMENTS IN SPECIAL SITUATIONS
Anchor Capital Holdings was founded by military veterans who are operationally and financially focused. We take our commitment to national service very seriously. Similarly, we take our commitment to serving our business partners just as seriously. Our military backgrounds, expertise in complex operating environments and a decade of private equity experience is our competitive advantage. We are not consultants or passive investors. We take an active role in all of our relationships and teams. Anchor Capital Holdings operates in a range of transaction situations such as Article 9 Foreclosures, Section 363 Bankruptcy, Controlled Buyouts, Divestures, Recapitalizations and other Special Situations.
