The biggest value leak in PE right now is debt speed. Most firms rely on too small a lender network fueled by a manual outreach process that drains capacity and causes completely avoidable delays. At CAPX, we’re consistently seeing teams spend 40% of their execution bandwidth just calling lenders and repeating the same story, often stretching debt fundraising by multiple weeks.
At CAPX, we’ve spoken with more than a few firms struggling to close deals. Though markets are showing signs of improvement, it remains critical to make the most of the deals that come your way.
That means not wasting time trying to secure funding, which is precisely where CAPX comes into play.
Finding the best lending options available takes significant effort
There are so many lenders out there, and you likely already have working relationships with a few.
However, relying on just a handful of lenders can rob you of better options available in today’s markets. Branching outside of your regular contacts can be the key to receiving more capital, and with more capital comes the potential to change your purchase price and give you the competitive edge you need to complete a deal that you may have otherwise lost.
The problem is that venturing outside your normal lending connections comes with its own challenges. As anyone in the PE sector knows, timing is everything. And having to pull attention away from deal-making and reallocate it towards debt fundraising can significantly reduce your team members’ capacity, making it far more difficult for your team to focus on the target you are trying to buy.
CAPX provides you with the systems you need to reduce your manual efforts to obtain a lender and imbue your entire deal-making workflow with true process efficiency.
How CAPX plugs in as the efficiency play for Private Equity firms looking to fundraise
Finding deals you want to pursue is enough of a task as is.
The CAPX platform helps you regain focus on your ideal acquisitions by helping you reach out to lenders at scale, enabling not just greater process efficiency but also the opportunity to gain more capital than you may have received from your immediate contacts.
What CAPX brings to the table is a simple, streamlined method for reaching out to both the lenders you know well and the ones you have less familiarity with. Where this process could take multiple days or even weeks when performed manually, CAPX can introduce a much higher level of efficiency that scales quickly and frees up your team’s capacity to focus on the target you aim to acquire.
