OceanArc Capital, founded in 2016, is an independent capital markets advisory firm specializing in Strategic Finance. OceanArc Capital was founded on the belief that public and private companies, now more than ever, require independent, specialized advice with regards to structuring favorable and executable credit market strategies that result in optimal liquidity, covenants, and pricing.
Independent Advice
Inherent conflicts of interest exist within full-service investment banks given various buy side / sell side advisory roles including competing service offerings that may not align with the client's desired outcome. Truly independent advice results in what is best for the client versus a “let’s get to a transaction” culture. Sometimes the best advice may be to do nothing at all.
Experience and Qualifications
OceanArc’s founder has been an Asset Based Lending and Leverage Finance professional for 16 years providing in excess of $30B of committed financing ($14B of capital provided in turnaround situations) across middle market and large cap financings in multiple industries and situations. This experience provides valuable insight and expertise to the client which levels the playing field when companies seek to access the regulated or non-regulated credit markets.
Focus on Execution
Specialized transactions require a specialized investment banker to optimize client outcomes and success. A generalist approach generally results in average outcomes while at OceanArc we strive to exceed the expectations from management teams and boards of directors.
Specialized Process
The benefits derived from a competitive processes, thoughtfully managed by capital markets bankers who are active in the credit markets everyday, typically result in (i) higher probability outcomes (i.e. transaction closing versus endless requests for more diligence information) and (ii) improved market terms and pricing.
Credit Market Guidelines and Investor Credit Appetite
Outcomes of various credit events in the past decade (i.e. the 2008 credit crisis and 2020 covid-19 crisis), are that the regulatory framework and risk guidelines for commercial and private credit investors are constantly evolving. Accessing credit can be opaque given alternative credit markets make up 65% of capital formation while regulated banks provide 35% or all commercial & industrial loans.

$2.0B in aggregate loan value since inception.
