OUR FIRM
Built on judgment. Guided by the long term.
Aparti Capital is an independent capital advisory firm serving business owners, investors, and management teams navigating consequential financing decisions. Our work is grounded in disciplined analysis, thoughtful capital structures, and a long-term view of enterprise value.
WHO WE ARE
An independent perspective on consequential capital decisions.
Financing decisions influence far more than the cost of capital. They shape ownership, resilience, operating flexibility, and the opportunities available to a business long after a transaction closes.
Aparti Capital advises lower middle market businesses and transaction stakeholders on evaluating financing alternatives, structuring capital, and navigating third-party capital processes. We believe the quality of a financing decision begins with understanding the enterprise.
01
Independent Judgment
Assess alternatives against the client’s objectives and the economic merits of the transaction.
02
Respect for the Enterprise
Consider the operating business, its people, its assets, and the cash flow that ultimately supports financing.
03
Thoughtful Structuring
Balance cost, leverage, flexibility, ownership objectives, and execution risk.
04
Long-Term Orientation
Evaluate what the capital structure means for the business after the transaction—not only at closing.
OUR CAPABILITIES
Advice shaped around the transaction, not a product.
Our advisory work spans business acquisitions, capital markets, recapitalizations, bridge capital, and complex financing situations. We evaluate solutions according to the needs of each enterprise rather than a predetermined financing product.
Acquisition Financing
Capital advisory for business acquisitions, buyouts, and sponsor-led transactions.
Capital Markets
Senior debt, asset-based lending, equipment financing, private credit, and structured capital advisory.
Recapitalizations
Financing alternatives for refinancing, shareholder liquidity, and changing ownership requirements.
Bridge Capital
Transitional capital advisory for time-sensitive transactions and defined liquidity events.
Special Situations
Financing advisory for complex transactions and challenging credit circumstances.
Capital Structure Analysis
Assessment of debt capacity, repayment risk, financing trade-offs, and transaction feasibility.
OUR INDEPENDENCE
An advisor to the decision not the source of the loan.
Our role is to help clients understand financing choices and pursue structures that make sense for their businesses. That requires asking difficult questions, identifying constraints, and considering the consequences of leverage.
Aparti Capital is not a direct lender through its advisory services. We help clients prepare, structure, and engage appropriate third-party capital providers. Financing remains subject to each provider’s underwriting and approval.
