We are specialists in complex M&A transactions. Our flexible approach and deep experience allow us to generate creative solutions not only in large cross-border deals, but also in mid-sized domestic transactions. We are used to dealing with different currencies, regulated markets, capital controls and distress situations in general.
We are trusted advisors to a wide array of clients, including high-net-worth families, private equity funds, large domestic companies, multinationals, and state-owned institutions.
The Team has extensive experience in Power Generation, Transmission & Distribution, Oil & Gas Upstream, Midstream, Downstream and Services, Infrastructure (E&C, Ports, Toll Roads), Telecom, Agribusiness, Food & Beverages, Financial Services, Pharma, and Industrials, among other sectors.
We are a fully independent boutique that provides conflict-free advice in equity and debt capital raising, both in public and private markets. We advise clients in defining the best capital structure for their specific needs and long-term goals, and help them execute the selected alternative. We have executed complex capital raising transactions in Argentina, Chile, Colombia and Trinidad & Tobago, including straight equity, mezzanine, acquisition financing, growth capital, shareholder replacements, recapitalization, project financing and distressed financings.
We are experienced and trusted advisors with significant experience in financial distress involving private and state-owned financial institutions, corporate debt funds, domestic and international banks, multilaterals, and hedge and distress funds, among others. We design and implement creative solutions that accommodate the needs of different types of creditors and constituents. We assist our clients during the entire restructuring process, coordinating efforts from all their advisors, including but not limited to the negotiation of the commercial terms and conditions, documentation, debt and/or equity capital raising (if applicable), until closing. We have executed out-of-court restructurings in Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Colombia, and in-court transactions filed in the US and Canada.
We focus on cash flow positive companies. We are industry agnostic but prioritize businesses with low volatility.Private Equity Funds in emerging markets face two particular challenges:
(1) Windows of opportunity to sell a company are very random, short, and sporadic
(2) Investing a complete fund could take several years, even longer than in developed markets, regardless of the size of the fund
Therefore, we address these two issues as follows:
(1) We pursue returns by means of dividends (and eventually an exit of the investment)
(2) We raise capital deal by deal (Club Deal)
As a consequence, we have a long-term approach, we do not over-promise about return levels and timing of exit, and we adapt the investor base according to specific characteristics of the target company.We pursue acquisitions from Sellers with impeccable character, with whom we would continue having a business relationship post-closing.
We are focused on early-stage financing, including Pre-Seed, Seed, and Series A rounds. We are industry agnostic. We invest in highly committed entrepreneurs that have the willingness, commitment, determination and vision to convert an extraordinary idea into reality. We provide capital and support start-ups in their fundraising and networking post capital injection. TAYSA has invested and procured financing for Sempen (production of renewable fuels such as green ammonia and Sustainable Aviation Fuel “SAF”), and Greener (Waste Recycling).
Leading boutique investment bank that provides financial advisory services to clients and invests in venture capital and private equity in Latin America.
