Acquisitions
Steel Capital leads acquisitions of freestanding companies.

Corporate Divestitures
Divisional management of steel conglomerates, like those in other industries, often respond handsomely to the entrepreneurial stimulus of stand-alone ownership. Steel Capital actively seeks opportunities to purchase discrete businesses from parent corporations, in some cases with a continuing involvement or ownership stake on the part of the parent.

Turnarounds and Distressed Situations
We invest in underperforming businesses which have intrinsically strong fundamentals but are hampered by excessive leverage, a lack of capital or inadequate human resources. Additionally, our flexible investment approach enables us to invest in situations that are unusually complicated in structure or strategy. Operating turnaround opportunities will also present themselves in the event of an economic downturn.

Going Private Transactions
Companies that are too small to support liquid secondary equity markets or that believe that their stack is undervalued are candidates for going private transactions.

Joint Ventures
Steel Capital participates in investments in which an operating company, serving the role of strategic partner, provided the management for an autonomous venture. As a private company, Steel Capital can exercise considerable flexibility in meeting corporate goals.

Expansion Financings
Companies seeking to increase their scope significantly through acquisitions, product line extensions, or similar expansion plans may require significant capital. Equity capital and strategic guidance by Steel Capital can be the keystone in the success of such ventures.

Recapitalizations
Steel Capital can provide the equity capital to facilitate a recapitalization for the redemption of a founder, family or financial shareholding, or, in certain instances, to institute a turnaround.

Privatizations
The firm has been instrumental in converting government-owned organizations into private businesses.

Follow-on Acquisitions
We provide capital to finance strategic acquisitions for existing portfolio companies.

Investment Proposals
Steel Capital welcomes investment proposals or inquiries from principals or their advisors or from intermediaries or others aware of situations they believe would interest the firm.
