Funding your vision. Fueling your growth.

Capital markets connect businesses seeking to raise capital with those who have capital to invest. Entering capital markets requires a significant investment of time and resources, but it can bring a substantial payoff: broader access to long-term capital to help meet your company’s growth goals.

What to consider before entering capital markets

Is a capital markets transaction right for you?

As your company grows, you may need access to greater pools of resources. Capital markets let you:

  • Diversify funding sources
  • Access investors with higher risk tolerance
  • Enjoy recurring funding opportunities
Preparation, timing, and other considerations

Entering capital markets for the first time takes careful planning. Key first steps include:

  • Analyzing your operations and finances for stability
  • Syncing timing and pricing to optimize value
  • Making capital markets part of your long-term financial strategy

Ways to access capital markets

One of your first decisions may be whether to pursue debt or equity capital.

Debt financing options

  • Loans
  • Bonds
  • Asset-backed securitizations
  • Private placement debt
Equity financing options

  • Initial public offerings (IPOs)
  • Follow-on offerings
  • Equity private placements
  • Convertibles

Ensure your company's story resonates with investors.

Investors want to know where you started, where you’re going, and why they might want to help you get there.

  • Debt investors are looking for solid financials, good corporate strategy, and a strong track record. 
  • Equity investors want to hear about your growth journey. 
  • Truist advisors can help you evaluate how you’re framing your story.

Mitigating financial risk in debt capital markets
