Portfolio Company Benefits

Third Eye Capital is passionate about improving the performance and creating value for the companies in which it invests.

By being able to take a different perspective about a business, we often develop new insights and strategies to help guide portfolio companies to success with less overall cost or loss of control than other financing options.

Entrepreneurial Decision Making

Quick decisions by successful entrepreneurs that have built, managed, and harvested businesses
Focused on helping businesses prosper and achieve business plans
Value-add through industry and capital market contacts
Neither “loan to own” nor “loan to liquidate” investors

Innovative Structuring and Flexible Terms

Creative structuring to match unique circumstances of companies
Both debt and equity options depending on company situation and leverage profile
Relevant covenants based on management projections
Multiple interest or dividend and repayment options
No prepayment penalties on shorter term debt financing

Closing Certainty and Investment Stability

Credit availability from assets not earnings, so more predictable loan advances
Less risk of technical default due to financial covenant breaches
Consideration given to non-traditional assets such as mineral resources, intellectual property, long-term contracts, and contingent claims
Extensive experience in difficult-to-lend industries, such as technology, mining, energy, and construction services
No intercreditor issues and no syndication required

Improved Controls

TEC cash management and borrowing base reporting encourage better billing and collection practices, and more efficient supply chain
TEC investments perceived as being thoroughly vetted so third-party investor discussions easier and less costly
Transfer of best-practices in various business and financial processes given extensive industry experience
Consulting and advice on business strategy, operational improvements, financial planning, M&A, and restructuring

Lower Total Cost for Underappreciated and Misunderstood Companies

No rejection for lack of credit agency rating, size, high leverage, or near-term earnings misses
Significantly lower transaction expenses due to full capital structure capabilities, and minimal (or no) equity dilution
