More than one way to fund growth.

Redwood’s growth-capital offering spans equity, mezzanine, convertible debt, revenue-based financing, growth debt, venture debt, bridge financing and expansion capital. The page reorganises these options into a clearer decision framework.

01

Equity Financing

Capital in exchange for an ownership interest, including venture capital, private equity or growth equity structures.

02

Mezzanine Financing

A hybrid of debt and equity designed for growth or acquisition requirements, with terms that can incorporate equity-linked features.

03

Convertible Debt

Debt that may convert into equity at a later stage, combining near-term financing with potential future equity participation.

04

Revenue-Based Financing

Funding linked to a company’s revenue performance, creating a repayment profile connected to business cash generation.

05

Growth Debt

Structured debt designed to support expansion initiatives where the business requires capital without relying solely on equity.

06

Venture Debt

Debt financing for venture-backed companies seeking additional capital while limiting the need for further equity dilution.

07

Bridge Financing

Short-term capital designed to bridge a financing, transaction or liquidity gap until a longer-term funding event.

08

Expansion Capital

Capital directed toward new products, market expansion and other strategic initiatives intended to drive the next stage of growth.

Growth capital lens

Capital should follow the growth plan.

Redwood’s approach is to understand the business and management objective first, then evaluate the capital structure that can support that objective and the company’s financial position.

01

Scale the core

Fund capacity, sales expansion, technology, people and operating infrastructure as the existing business grows.

02

Enter new markets

Evaluate capital requirements for geographic expansion, new customer segments, products and strategic initiatives.

03

Fund acquisitions

Consider capital structures that can support acquisitions, consolidation and strategic combinations.

Transaction fit

Start with the business. Then shape the financing.

Growth capital can be tailored to the company’s requirements, growth objectives and financial health. The advisory process focuses on aligning the financing structure with the underlying business case.

  • Clarify the growth objective and capital requirement.
  • Build the financial case and funding narrative.
  • Evaluate dilution, leverage and repayment considerations.

For capital providers

Understand the transaction before deployment.

  • Assess business model, growth drivers and management.
  • Review cash flows, financial health and capital needs.
  • Evaluate transaction structure and risk allocation.
  • Support diligence, negotiation and execution processes.
