Middlemarch Successfully Secures Majority Equity Investment from Elliott Management for Channel Partners Capital LLC.
Middlemarch Securities, the investment banking arm of Middlemarch Partners, LLC (“Middlemarch”) acted as the investment banking advisor to Channel Partners Capital (“Channel”), a leading provider of small business loans.
Middlemarch secured a significant equity investment from Funds advised by Elliott Management Corporation (“Elliott”), a private investment firm with approximately $35 billion in assets under management. Concurrent with the growth equity investment, Channel also refinanced its balance sheet with an expandable asset-backed facility led by CIBC Bank USA.
Middlemarch advised Channel on its growth strategy, capital needs and executing a complex transaction structure to achieve the goals of multiple stakeholders. Demetris Papademetriou of Middlemarch Partners stated, “After raising over $750 million dollars for a variety of alternative finance companies, we immediately recognized Channel’s strong management, unique customer acquisition strategy and superior performance metrics. Channel’s profile made a compelling investment candidate. With its investment from Elliott and CIBC, Channel is positioned to achieve its near-term goal of $300M in funded working capital loans.” This transaction further solidifies Middlemarch Partners’ role as the advisor of choice in the Alternative Lending sector.
Channel, a company providing working capital solutions for small to mid-sized companies through its proprietary network of over 400 equipment leasing partners will use the growth capital to scale its loan originations, operations, and technology platform; enabling more efficient financing for its clients.
Brad Peterson, CEO of Channel Partners Capital LLC., stated “This is a major milestone for Channel Partners Capital and we appreciate Middlemarch’s efforts to make it happen. They prepared us to meet many highly qualified investors and guided us through a complex transaction, culminating with finding the right partner to fuel our growth in Elliott Management.”
