Raising Impact Capital Services
Raising Impact Capital: We advise and assist project teams, developers, and investment partners/sponsors to obtain cost-effective capital. We specialize in using a “layered” approach to raising impact capital, sometimes involving multiple financing sources or multiple rounds of finance, to achieve project goals. Since 1996, In3 has partnered with clients in diverse industries to help them raise money — debt, equity, convertible debt, grants, revenue contracts, joint ventures and more — for US operations as well as project finance in emerging markets and developing economies.
The main capital that we have obtained for clients...
The main capital that we have obtained for clients in the current economy (since 2008) is low-APR term loans (3-20 years), for at least $1.5 million and up to $250 million or more. Average loan size as of 2014 is $11.5 million, with 6.5 year tenor. We also can assist with attracting equity partners, or “quasi-equity” (also called C-loans) when appropriate. Our fees are commensurate with risks and the amount of work required to obtain capital.
Quasi-equity instruments have both debt and equity characteristics, used mostly in developing countries. One option is convertible debt (starts off as a loan then converts to equity based on milestones reached), and another is a subordinated loan; both of these use a fixed repayment schedule. Other options include preferred stock and income-based or revenue note investments, which require a less rigid repayment schedule. Quasi-equity investments are available whenever necessary, to ensure that a project is soundly funded, offering yet another approach to qualify and unlock required capital.
We maintain an active network of both public and private sources, with specialization on development finance, impact finance, and social and/or environmental responsibility (see Our Sweet Spot). We also work with short-term financing needs, such as import-export or bridge loans, as part of a services package. Our clients are mostly in renewable energy (solar, wind, small-scale hydroelectricity), renewable resources (agriculture, agroforestry, water), waste conversion (biomass to energy, biofuels, biochar), industrial biomaterials (fabrics, textiles, specialty ‘green’ chemicals), health & sustainability.
The most attractive terms can be obtained by de-risking and carefully preparing plans and proposals. We work with both US companies and overseas companies doing business in emerging markets and developing economies.
