We help promoters assess the capital they need, prepare the case and pursue a structure the business can support.
Sharegiants advises promoters evaluating growth funding, refinancing, equity or a strategic transaction. We clarify the requirement, prepare the case and coordinate conversations with suitable counterparties.
These are questions for an initial conversation. A funding or transaction route depends on diligence, counterparty appetite and the company’s circumstances.
Before outreach
Prepare a case that can stand up to the next question.
Promoters need more than a list of lenders or investors. The business case, structure and information have to work together before conversations begin.
01 / ASSESSUnderstand the requirement
Purpose, timing, existing obligations and the decisions still open.
02 / STRUCTURECompare possible routes
Cash flow, security, ownership and cost shape the options worth pursuing.
03 / PREPAREMake the case
Financial analysis, materials and management responses for informed discussions.
04 / COORDINATECarry it forward
Counterparty engagement, diligence, terms and closing conditions as the mandate requires.
Our team has worked with promoters on working capital, refinancing, structured debt, hybrid capital and equity transactions across different industries. We begin by understanding the purpose of the capital, the business’s capacity and the terms a counterparty would need to assess.
Cumulative team experience, including prior engagements; this is not an annual figure. Client names are withheld.
36 current funding opportunitiesAt different stages, including active mandates and mandate discussions. These are prospective requirements, not funds raised, and are excluded from the completed total.
Breadth of current work
Different sectors. Different funding questions.
Current opportunities and discussions span solar, EPC contracting, bitumen manufacturing, steel manufacturing, iron ore, CCTV manufacturing, IT services, pharmaceuticals and specialty chemicals. Some are active mandates; others remain at the discussion stage. Client identities are withheld.
01 / GROWTH CAPITAL
A real estate business assessing a structure that combines debt and equity.
02 / WORKING CAPITAL
An IT business aligning funding with its operating and collection cycle.
03 / STRUCTURED FUNDING
A steel business examining an optionally convertible debt route.
These are anonymised examples of work undertaken by team members, including prior engagements. Each new mandate depends on the company’s circumstances, diligence and counterparty appetite.
A useful perspective
Sometimes the first answer is not yet.
Before approaching a bank, NBFC, AIF, family office or investor, the purpose, repayment case, ownership expectations and evidence need to hold together. If preparation or timing needs work, we would rather identify it early.
The useful question is which structure the business can support, at what cost and with what effect on ownership and control.

A route is a starting point
Not sure where your requirement fits?
The mandate explorer frames the first issue, possible routes and information to prepare. It does not determine eligibility or terms.
For growth funding where ownership and control are part of the decision.
Start with the business need.
Equity-linked funding can provide patient capital, but it changes the questions around valuation, conversion, rights and future rounds. We help promoters assess what capital is needed, what stake or economic rights may be involved and how the structure fits the longer-term plan.
How we work on it.
We prepare the investment case and coordinate selected investor conversations. Bring current shareholding, historical financials, projections, funding use and material agreements. Transaction terms and required approvals need specialist legal and tax review.
This page describes an advisory route, not an offer or assurance of funding. Any facility or transaction depends on assessment, diligence, counterparty appetite and applicable requirements.
For an acquisition where borrowed capital forms part of the purchase structure.
Start with the business need.
A buyout is more than a purchase price. The buyer must understand the target’s cash generation, existing liabilities, integration needs and the debt that the combined plan could sustain. We examine the proposed acquisition, available equity, repayment sources and downside cases before a financing route is pursued.
How we work on it.
We support transaction assessment, financing structure, valuation work and coordinated discussions with lenders, investors and specialist advisers. Bring the acquisition outline, target information available under confidentiality, proposed consideration and buyer funding plan.
This page describes an advisory route, not an offer or assurance of funding. Any facility or transaction depends on assessment, diligence, counterparty appetite and applicable requirements.
Property can support a financing discussion, but its value alone does not answer the repayment question. We examine ownership, available security, existing charges, the proposed use of funds and the cash flows expected to service the loan.
How we work on it.
We coordinate the case with suitable lenders and their legal and valuation processes. Bring title documents, property details, existing loan and charge information, financial statements and a clear funding purpose.
This page describes an advisory route, not an offer or assurance of funding. Any facility or transaction depends on assessment, diligence, counterparty appetite and applicable requirements.
For promoters or businesses considering borrowing against eligible shareholdings.
Start with the business need.
A share-backed facility requires attention to the securities offered, their liquidity, applicable margin, price movement and the consequences of a margin call. We start with the purpose of borrowing and the ability to repay independently of short-term share prices.
How we work on it.
We help frame the requirement and coordinate counterparty discussions, subject to applicable rules and lender terms. Bring shareholding and demat details, existing pledges, financial information and the intended use of funds.
This page describes an advisory route, not an offer or assurance of funding. Any facility or transaction depends on assessment, diligence, counterparty appetite and applicable requirements.
For a funding need that calls for a tailored mix of risk, repayment and ownership rights.
Start with the business need.
Mezzanine and quasi-equity describe negotiated capital structures that can sit between senior debt and ordinary equity in economic effect. Depending on the transaction, they may involve subordinated repayment, conversion rights or participation in the upside. The label alone tells a promoter very little: cash servicing, security, control rights and the cost under different outcomes matter more. We begin with the purpose of the capital and the business’s capacity to meet its obligations before comparing possible structures.
How we work on it.
We map the proposed funding against existing facilities and the promoter’s ownership objectives, then prepare the case for relevant capital providers. Useful starting material includes the current capital structure, debt terms, historical financials, projections, use of funds and shareholder arrangements. A proposed instrument is shaped by investor appetite and reviewed with legal and tax advisers; no single structure suits every business.
This page describes an advisory route, not an offer or assurance of funding. Any facility or transaction depends on assessment, diligence, counterparty appetite and applicable requirements.
For funding that needs terms beyond a conventional bank loan.
Start with the business need.
A non-convertible debenture is a debt route; an optionally convertible debenture adds an ownership decision if conversion is exercised under its terms. Neither should be chosen solely because a conventional loan is difficult. We compare cost, security, covenants, repayment and possible dilution against the business plan.
How we work on it.
We support commercial structuring, materials and discussions with suitable counterparties. Legal documentation, placement and any regulated activity are handled by appropriately appointed professionals and intermediaries. Bring the capital plan, financials, existing debt, security position and ownership expectations.
This page describes an advisory route, not an offer or assurance of funding. Any facility or transaction depends on assessment, diligence, counterparty appetite and applicable requirements.
For a defined project with a credible cost plan and cash-flow case.
Start with the business need.
A project can look attractive on completion and still face a funding gap during construction or commissioning. We begin with the project cost, equity contribution, approvals, implementation schedule and expected cash generation. Those details determine how much debt a project may support and when it can be repaid.
How we work on it.
We organise the project funding case and coordinate lender or institutional discussions. The first review should include the project report, cost estimates, approvals, contracts, promoter contribution, projected cash flows and existing obligations.
This page describes an advisory route, not an offer or assurance of funding. Any facility or transaction depends on assessment, diligence, counterparty appetite and applicable requirements.
For an established business assessing credit without specific asset security.
Start with the business need.
Unsecured does not mean documentation-free. Lenders will still examine business performance, banking conduct, cash generation, existing debt and the purpose of borrowing. We test whether the amount sought is consistent with the company’s capacity before approaching a counterparty.
How we work on it.
We prepare a focused lender discussion around the business and its repayment case. Bring financial statements, bank statements, current borrowing details, tax filings and the intended use and duration of funds. Availability and terms depend on lender assessment.
This page describes an advisory route, not an offer or assurance of funding. Any facility or transaction depends on assessment, diligence, counterparty appetite and applicable requirements.
For businesses funding operations, equipment or a defined expansion.
Start with the business need.
A funding need often begins with a timing gap: suppliers must be paid before customers pay, or investment must be made before additional revenue arrives. We review the operating cycle, existing limits and projected cash flows to understand what the business can carry. A working capital facility and a term loan solve different problems; the structure should reflect the use of funds and repayment source.
How we work on it.
We help prepare the credit case, review the information lenders are likely to ask for, and coordinate discussions with appropriate banks or NBFCs. Bring recent financial statements, facility letters, receivables and payables ageing, projections and a clear use of funds.

Private equity, strategic capital and an IPO each ask something different of a promoter. We examine purpose, ownership and readiness before discussing a route.
BEFORE A LISTING
Readiness has more than one dimension.
Equity routes
Different markets. Different preparations.
01 / PRIVATE
Private capital
A negotiated investment calls for a credible growth plan, valuation context and clarity on the stake offered.
02 / STRUCTURED
Mezzanine & quasi-equity
Capital with negotiated repayment, conversion or participation terms can bridge a funding gap. Explore the route ↗
02 / LISTING
SME & Main Board readiness
A possible listing requires stronger records, governance, disclosure preparation and management readiness.
03 / LISTED
Further equity capital
Rights issues, QIPs and further public offers may be options for eligible listed companies, subject to applicable rules and appointed intermediaries.
Listed-company acquisitions
Assess the business before the listing status.
For prospective acquirers considering a BSE or NSE Main Board or SME-listed company, Sharegiants can support the strategic assessment, valuation context, funding plan and coordination of diligence. The team draws on prior individual experience; this is a new Sharegiants offering. Open-offer management and other regulated work require separately appointed qualified intermediaries.
A listing decision begins before an offer document.
These are the questions a promoter can work through ahead of a formal issue mandate.
01
Is a listing the right route?
Test the capital need, shareholder goals and timing.
02
Where are the gaps?
Review financial records, governance, capital structure and management readiness.
03
What needs preparation?
Organise information and management responses before entering a formal process.
04
Who leads the issue?
The issuer appoints a SEBI-registered merchant banker and other intermediaries for formal issue work.
Clear responsibilities
Preparation and formal issue work have distinct mandates.
Sharegiants works with promoters on general corporate finance and readiness before a formal public issue. A SEBI-registered merchant banker must be separately appointed to lead regulated issue management.
The appointed intermediaries handle formal due diligence, offer documents, filings and other issue responsibilities under their mandates. Sharegiants’ scope is agreed separately for each engagement.
A mandate needs judgment, preparation and follow-through. These are the people behind Sharegiants’ corporate finance advisory.
