Corporate Finance and Funding

NGP assists companies needing capital for corporate growth, acquisitions, and/or refinancing of existing debt. From determining capital requirements to identifying sources of funding to negotiating the deal, we help our clients obtain the necessary capital they need.

We have assisted clients in obtaining a variety of types of funding, including:

• Recapitalizations
• Early and follow-on venture funding
• Senior and subordinated debt
• Convertible debentures

We lay the groundwork for a successful funding by maintaining an extensive network of relationships with banking, strategic and institutional investors. These relationships increase our clients access to the right sources of investment. The investment climate is constantly changing and networking is critical to your success.  We also understand the importance of finding the right investment partners.

Corporate Governance

Our operating partner Candela Solutions, LLC is a specialized public accounting firm working with boards and management teams to build value through strong governance.  Directing, managing and monitoring a company with the goal of creating value while protecting the interests of key stakeholders is corporate governance.  Corporate governance is what Candela Solutions is all about.  This includes governance structures, internal auditing, technology, strategic planning and change management.  These are Candela's core competencies and we invite you to learn more about these essential building blocks to performance improvement.  Candela also has  specialized competencies to service governments and start-up businesses. 

Together, our operational approach towards governmental mandates, such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, helps businesses add value.  We do not believe in compliance for compliance sake.   If you are asking, “How far should we go and is the cost justified by the benefits?”  - Candela Solutions  and NorthStar Growth Partners can help answer your questions.  We partner-up with boards and management teams to achieve excellence through execution, not through elaborate consulting methodologies and studies which sit on a shelf.  Together, we deliver opportunities, solutions and results.
