Seeking feedback on Raising Investor $ Strategy
- Strategy Source: https://tinyurl.com/ccorpfunds
- Begin @ ~7:55 for full context (quick video, summary below)
Questions:
1. Has anyone done this successfully, or something similar, to season bank funds?
2. How would you structure paying Pref Equity of 120% of investor equity over time?
My Summary of the Raising Investor $ Strategy & Structure:
1. Create C-Corp to Raise & SEASON funds (at least 2 bank cycles before purchase)
- keep any single investor at <20% valuation on raise
2. Acquire at a higher (example is 2x) EV than raise
- this ideally returns investor $ in deal back at close!
3. Structure capital stack based on Working Capital peg
- this keeps everyone on the same page regarding having enough cash for a healthy business & plan
4. Guaranteed Payment to Operator based on WC peg
- Operator gets Guaranteed Payment before Preferred Equity ... if maintains the WC peg
- the GP accrues if not
5. Preferred Equity 120%
- Remember: this is based on already returning investor $ in deal + any interest
- return via Preferred Equity at 120% on their $
6. Parri Passu common equity
