Our Edge
Flexible Capital Uses
Applying our investment and business expertise in concert with our thorough understanding of the region, AIM Capital provides capital, business solutions and a partnership that are tailored to the specific needs and uses of each company.
Our primary focus is on providing growth capital to companies near their “sweet spot” in the development cycle. Specifically, we seek to invest at a point where the opportunity for significant revenue expansion, market-share gains and/or increases in operating margins are most dramatic.
AIM Capital invests up and down the capital structure and is able to provide funding to meet a wide range of financing objectives:
- Secured debt financing
- Acquisition finance
- Management buy-outs and share repurchases
- Recapitalizations and leveraged finance
- Financing for the exit for existing non-strategic shareholders
- Expansion and growth capital
- Bridge financing
