Corporate finance & strategic advisory

The amount is one question. The structure is the real decision.

Capital should serve the business plan.

Sharegiants works with promoters on funding and strategic transactions—from bank debt and structured capital to equity, acquisitions and IPO preparation. We help shape the case, prepare it for scrutiny and carry the conversations forward.

The situation

Growth & working capital

Fund the next stage without straining day-to-day operations.

THE FIRST QUESTIONWhat is the capital for, when will it be used, and how will cash flow change?
WHERE WE CAN HELP

Bank or NBFC credit, structured capital and equity can each play a role. The sequence matters as much as the instrument.

A PROMOTER’S STARTING POINT

These questions frame a first conversation; any route depends on the company’s circumstances and counterparty appetite.

A useful perspective

Sometimes the first answer is not yet.

Before approaching a bank, AIF, family office or private institution, 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 first questions

The instrument follows the need.

An attractive term sheet is useful only if the structure works for the business. We begin by asking what the capital must do and what the company can reasonably carry.

01
What is the money for?

Growth, acquisition, capex, working capital or refinancing call for different funding terms.

02
How much control is the promoter willing to share?

Equity can ease repayments, but it changes ownership and governance.

03
What can cash flow support?

Debt has to be tested against repayment, security, covenants and downside cases.

A decision lensThree questions shape the route.
01 / PURPOSEWhat will the capital fund?

Growth, an acquisition or refinancing changes the size and timing of the need.

02 / OWNERSHIPHow much control can change?

Equity shares ownership. Debt preserves equity but adds repayment obligations.

03 / CAPACITYWhat can cash flow carry?

Repayment, security and downside cases narrow the viable options.

Rights, QIP & FPO

For suitable listed companies, these routes can be considered to raise additional equity, subject to applicable requirements.

These are possible equity routes, subject to company eligibility and applicable requirements. Sharegiants advises on preparation and coordinates with appointed specialists.

Listing journey

Preparation starts before the offer document.

A listing asks more of a company than a compelling growth story. The business, records, governance and management team all need to stand up to scrutiny.

  1. 01
    Assess readiness

    Examine financial track record, capital structure and governance gaps.

  2. 02
    Prepare the case

    Shape the equity story and organise documents and management responses.

  3. 03
    Appoint specialists

    Coordinate diligence with the appointed merchant banker and other advisers.

  4. 04
    Enter the market

    Support management through investor conversations and execution milestones.

Clear responsibilities

Advisory and regulated execution

Sharegiants supports promoters with feasibility, preparation, structuring and coordination. For a formal public issue, a SEBI-registered merchant banker must be separately appointed under the applicable mandate.

The appointed merchant banker and other intermediaries lead the regulated issue process, including required filings and issue management. Sharegiants’ scope is agreed with the client for each engagement.

The appropriate route depends on eligibility, diligence, market conditions and current regulations.
