Our Approach
Ladrigan Management saves time and money with a consistent execution strategy that lets sponsors focus personnel on their true purpose: delivering strong shareholder returns.
We differentiate ourselves from the typical paper placing strategy of a boutique investment bank by utilizing a fundamental, formalized credit framework. This results in a more linear path to credit approval and facilitates a stronger relationship with capital providers.
About Us
Ladrigan Management has deep experience on both sides of the table in debt capital markets negotiation.
Our ability to uniformly articulate credit terms to sophisticated lenders is critical for selecting a suitable capital provider. Our extensive underwriting background allows us to digest highly technical legal documents, efficiently manage both internally and externally facing contacts, and direct all aspects of the transaction—from inception through closing.
We possess the intellectual capital, commercial mindset, and strategic orientation to be deeply engaged in a dynamic recapitalization process.
Our Why
When we think about how lower middle market private equity firms are staffed, we recognize they run lean. Most firms utilize our services not because they can’t do it on their own, but because they would rather do other things.
Ladrigan Management recognizes the pain point that is created when execution challenges coincide with an upcoming debt maturity. It is common for long-held portfolio companies to experience unforeseen operational headwinds while simultaneously maintaining strong credit fundamentals. The rigor of our framework provides peace of mind, and helps investment managers to continue working towards exiting the investment at an attractive multiple.
