Dion's partner story

The Full Story

Transitioning ownership

Dion's first began working with us in 2014, when they were seeking capital to recapitalise their Company.​​

As Dion's grew over the years the founders owned about 85 percent of the organisation and the management team owned the remaining 15 percent. The founders were looking to take a step back from the day to day operations of the business and realise some liquidity from their ownership. The Company's investment banker had come to know us through a previous transaction and introduced us to Dion's, thinking our ability to do a minority recapitalisation would be a good fit.

We were able to finance a minority recapitalisation through a one-stop financing transaction. We provided a revolver, senior debt, subordinated debt, and preferred equity. Our solution was able to provide the two founders with substantial liquidity and they were still able to retain control of the business.
