Toronto, ON (PRWEB) April 27, 2004 -

MCR Capital Group, a boutique Canadian investment banking advisory firm will be focusing on bringing US private equity capital to Canadian firms.

The Company will focus on developing long-term relationships with Canadian enterprises that have a need for growth or acquisition financing in the form of management buyouts, leveraged buyouts or recapitalizations. MCR Capital Group believes that the Canadian market is an underserved market with respect to access to structured capital solutions for medium sized Canadian companies.

Mark Richter, Principal at MCR Capital Group states, “The size of the private equity market in Canada is estimated at approximately CDN$ 50 billion. Canada’s private equity markets as well as the leveraged buyout, mezzanine and venture capital segments have experienced strong growth and diversification over the past few years. Going forward, Canada’s attractive economic fundamentals could offer attractive returns to American private equity funds.”

“The Canadian private equity market is not yet fully mature and competition for deals is less than what you would find in the United States,” said Richter, “This allows for significant upside return opportunity due to lower valuation multiples for Canadian firms versus their US counterparts.”

MCR Capital Group is a Toronto-based financial advisory and investment banking firm specializing in the needs of medium sized Canadian companies as well as private equity firms and their portfolio companies. You can find our web site at http://www.mcrcapitalgroup.com

The market has been roiled by claims of a liquidity crisis, stemming from inability to complete (ie find buyers for the ultimate bonds rather than the banks and initial financiaers) for highly risky leveraged bonds. Why does this lack of appetite for leveraged debt affect the market generally when there is still demand for good equity and debt? Is bad money chasing out good money with greed?

A year or two ago you could get investment based on a good idea.  Not surprisingly, these market conditions are probably unlikely to return, (at least in the short-term).  To get investor’s interest you must have existing orders or contracts.

For small scale investments, you may need to re-structure investment to smaller packages.  In today’s market, investors think twice about signing six-figure cheques, however there is still opportunity in areas of around $30,000-50,000 per investor.  As current Australian Security and Investment Commission (ASIC) laws allow you to subscribe to 10 investors per annum, this could be as much as $500,000.

Entrepreneurs must also learn “investor-speak”.  Learn how to think like an investor and what investors want.  People think that investors invest in good ideas, but the reality is investors invest in “good markets”, that are growing and have massive opportunities, such as Green technology or Cleantech industries.

Finally, focus on your exit strategy.  How will investors realise their investment opportunity?  Once you start thinking like an investor, the fundamental questions you need to be able to answer are:

1.    How much do I want?
2.    What am I going to do with the money?
3.    How have I validated my assumptions?
4.    How well do I understand the industry?
5.    How will I mitigate my risks and how believable am I?
6.    How well can I sell my proposal?
7.    How am I going to give it back (exit strategy)?
8.    When am I going to give the money back?
9.    How much will I give back to the investor?
10.    Am I realistically capable of doing it- what experience do I have and who can I bring on-board if I do not have any experience?
