Our M&A approach is built on developing strong, authentic relationships. As a result, we have developed a large domestic and international network of investors and sponsors that provide a wide range of capital investment. We provide a number of solutions for lower middle market companies
Capital Raising
Investing in Partnerships
Debt / Equity Raising – Our professionals understand the broad spectrum of financing solutions available to middle-market companies. Given the inflationary challenges many companies face, there are a number of alternative solutions that may make more sense for the situation at hand such as private debt or private equity.
Crescent Capital Advisors has relationships with leading providers and experience raising capital in the form of senior debt, subordinated debt, mezzanine debt, preferred equity, common equity and convertible equity.
Minority / Non-Control Investors – Crescent Capital Advisors has relationships with sponsors across industries that invest in middle market and lower middle market ventures to help them scale and grow their business.
Foreign Investors – Our sponsor partners range from sovereign wealth funds to private equity firms and family offices in Europe and emerging markets.

EB-5 Financing - Alternative Investment
Non-Controlling Equity Investment
Flexible Structuring
EB-5 allows for debt and equity financing. A common and preferred mode we recommend is the equity model. EB-5 investors contribute equity investment into a new commercial enterprise, which then invests that capital in the U.S based company seeking investment.
Exit timelines are typically five years, but the timing and structure of exits can vary.
High Funding Amounts
EB-5 investment can pooled into a single offering, allowing larger sums of capital to be raised. It is common for EB-5 capital to account for up to 20-30% of the capital stack of a real estate development project.
Access to Capital
Given the higher rates caused by the inflationary conditions of the market,EB-5 investment presents a viable option for projects that may find it difficult to secure commercial financing in a tightened lending market.
Turn Key Process
Crescent Capital Advisors serves as a conduit between project developers and EB-5 investors and are tasked with managing the regulatory and reporting requirements of the program. We identify projects and often manage or facilitate the process of structuring the deal for EB-5, coordinating with securities attorneys and other professionals to prepare offering documents and project documentation for filing. Following the capital raise, we are required to track and report job creation, project expenditures, and other regulatory issues related to the project and program.
