Equity & Co-Investment Capital

Typical Range: $500K – $10MM+ Use Cases: Minority Equity • Preferred Equity • Co-Investment • Recapitalization

Overview

Nabesna Capital structures and sources minority and preferred equity capital for established companies and investors seeking strategic growth partners.

We work with a curated network of private investors, family offices, and institutional co-investment groups that align with our clients’ long-term objectives.

Our role is to design and negotiate equity structures that deliver growth capital while protecting control, governance, and exit flexibility for business owners and sponsors.

Who This Program Serves

We advise owners, operators, and sponsors across the lower middle market who are seeking equity or hybrid capital to support:

We focus on transaction values from $1MM – $25MM+, where structured equity participation can accelerate growth without full ownership change.

Types of Equity Capital

Minority Equity

Non-controlling investment that provides growth capital while allowing existing ownership to retain strategic and operational control.

Preferred Equity

Structured equity with defined returns, priority distributions, and optional conversion or redemption features — ideal for recapitalization or bridge-to-sale scenarios.

Co-Investment Capital

Equity participation alongside sponsors or acquirers in larger transactions, providing additional leverage for acquisitions or multi-asset strategies.

Hybrid & Convertible Structures

Customized instruments combining debt and equity features — including convertible notes, revenue participation, or structured earnouts.

When to Consider Equity or Co-Investment Capital

  • You’ve reached bank lending limits but need additional growth or acquisition funding.

  • You want to retain control while accessing outside capital.

  • You’re recapitalizing or buying out a partner.

  • You’re pursuing an acquisition or expansion that requires more than traditional financing.

  • You need equity alignment with strategic investors or operating partners.

We help business owners and investors design capital stacks that balance ownership, liquidity, and growth velocity.

Capital Alignment Philosophy

We view equity as a partnership, not a transaction.

The best outcomes occur when capital and management share a vision — and the structure supports both near-term growth and long-term value creation.

Nabesna Capital ensures that every equity or co-investment partnership begins with clarity, alignment, and trust.
