Corporate Finance & Transaction Advisory
Vesselbridge Capital is a boutique corporate finance advisory firm providing independent advice on capital raising, M&A, and strategic transactions across private and public markets, with cross-border expertise and a focus on disciplined, institutional-grade execution.
Vesselbridge Capital is a boutique lower-middle-market and mid-market corporate finance advisory firm providing independent advice across private and public markets.
Vesselbridge advises corporations, shareholders and financial sponsors on mergers and acquisitions, private capital raising and strategic transactions, including sell-side and buy-side mandates, equity and debt placements, recapitalisations, and restructuring and special situations. The firm takes on a select number of engagements, each led by a senior partner from mandate through close, and focuses on complex situations where institutional positioning, disciplined execution and access to global capital determine the outcome.
The firm's senior bankers have held positions at Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan, Lazard, Rothschild, Citi, Barclays, HSBC, ABN AMRO and Lincoln International, and bring decades of corporate finance, M&A, restructuring and capital markets experience across New York, London, Hong Kong and the wider Asia-Pacific region. That depth of experience allows Vesselbridge to position businesses with institutional credibility and run a bulge-bracket-calibre process with the discretion and senior attention of a boutique.
Across their careers, members of the senior team have led transactions for family-owned businesses, private equity sponsors and strategic acquirers, raised equity and debt capital across the United States, Europe and Asia, and advised boards and lenders through complex restructurings and recapitalisations. Vesselbridge works with clients across the corporate lifecycle, from strategic expansion and acquisition programmes through recapitalisations, liquidity events and exits.
Firm Overview
Corporate Finance & Transaction Advisory
Vesselbridge is an independent advisory firm built for the moments that change a company’s trajectory: bringing in new capital, buying or selling a business, or resetting the balance sheet. Each mandate is run by senior bankers from the first conversation through to completion, drawing on an investor and acquirer network that spans North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
Our Capabilities
01. Capital Raising and Financing
Vesselbridge raises growth equity, private credit and structured capital for lower middle market and mid-market companies, founders and sponsors. Each financing begins with a clear capital strategy, comparing equity, debt and structured options on cost of capital, dilution, control and flexibility, before the firm prepares institutional materials and approaches investors whose mandate and ticket size fit the transaction.
The process is built around securing a credible lead investor to anchor terms, then completing the round with co-investors, family offices and credit providers toward a single close. Mandates include growth equity and minority recapitalisations, senior and unitranche debt, and acquisition financing for buy-and-build programmes.
Our Capabilities
02. M&A Advisory
Vesselbridge advises founders, families, private equity sponsors and corporates on sell-side, buy-side and partial liquidity transactions. Before any buyer is contacted, the firm agrees the valuation view, equity story and diligence readiness with management, then builds a tiered universe of strategic acquirers, private equity platforms, add-on sponsors and family offices.
Each sale runs to a fixed timetable so buyers move in parallel, with offers compared on value, structure, deferred consideration and certainty, and negotiated by the senior team through to a signed letter of intent and completion. On the buy side, the firm supports acquisition programmes from target screening and approach through to close.
Our Capabilities
03. Restructuring and Special Situations
Vesselbridge advises companies, boards, shareholders and creditors facing liquidity pressure, covenant stress or a strategic decision point. Each engagement starts with a cash flow and covenant review to establish runway and the time available to act, followed by a clear view of the alternatives, from refinancing and recapitalisation to asset sales or a merger, and the likely outcome of each for every stakeholder group.
The firm then approaches existing lenders, private credit funds and special situations investors for new money or amended terms, and negotiates toward a consensual agreement that preserves value and keeps the business operating. The practice is led by a Managing Director with senior restructuring experience at Barclays Capital, J.P. Morgan and Lazard.
