Investment Banking

• Mergers & Acquisitions – CCP and its principals have over 20 years experience in multi-unit retail transactions, working with retailers, distributors, transporters, and refiner/marketers structuring acquisitions, divestitures, and retail strategy for large and small chains. We bring a wealth of partnerships to each transaction in the form of equity investors, specialty lenders, and industry leading operators to assist you in each step of your transaction. CCP can structure a sale to portfolio buyers or individual buyers as needed to optimize your sale proceeds.
• Refinance / Recapitalization / Management Buyouts – CCP, through its relationships with lenders, private equity groups, sale leaseback investors, and industry leaders, can assist you in your capital needs for transitions in your business. Whether it is for estate planning purposes or passing on the torch to another generation, we can assist you in structured transactions that allow you to benefit from your personal and capital investment in your company.
• Distressed Advisory – The principals of CCP have managed companies through the challenges of cash flow shortages, due to the exciting times of high growth and the stressful periods of workouts and restructurings. Whether outside or inside of court protection, CCP can assist retailers in working with lenders, general creditors, landlords, and other constituents to produce a meaningful and lasting solution that can transition your business to the next stage in its life cycle. We have reorganized our own retail companies inside of Chapter 11 protection, and understand the unique challenges and opportunities presented by such situations.
• Special Capital Situations – CCP will invest its own capital in your business for special situations, where strong management has a viable plan to capture unique opportunities. Whether it is working capital for intense growth or a distressed situation, CCP can provide quick capital to assist you in reaching your objectives. Such projects in the past have included bridge loans, inventory and working capital financing, and Debtor-in-Possession funding.
