Deal structuring
Our consultants design transactions across industries and assemble the capital, people and expertise needed to close them.
An investment firm draws on more than its own balance sheet. A deal needs capital, people and know-how, and our role is to bring them together under one structure.
Every significant transaction depends on three kinds of resource that rarely sit under one roof: money, people and know-how. SCG’s consultants work across industries to find those resources, from our own network and from partners, and to combine them into a structure that every party can commit to.
Three pools of resource
Capital
Finance in the right form, from the right source, at the right time.
- Equity and co-investment
- Senior and mezzanine debt
- Development and institutional finance
- Local and international investors
People
The human resources that make a plan operational rather than theoretical.
- Operators and management teams
- Project and programme leaders
- Specialist contractors
- Board and advisory talent
Expertise
Deep sector, technical and regulatory knowledge, on demand and across industries.
- Engineering and technical diligence
- Financial modelling and valuation
- Legal, tax and regulatory counsel
- Sector and market specialists
