In recent years, Ireland’s debt and equity capital markets have evolved significantly, with renewed confidence and increasing activity. Traditional banks have regained their appetite to lend after years of deleveraging, while alternative finance providers and debt funds have expanded rapidly, creating a dynamic and competitive funding landscape.
Today, borrowers and growth-focused businesses benefit from improved lending terms — including lower pricing, higher leverage, more flexible covenants, and better repayment structures — as lenders compete for strong opportunities.
Alongside this, the equity capital market has also grown considerably. Irish and international private equity funds, venture capital investors, family offices, and strategic investors are actively seeking opportunities to deploy capital into ambitious, high-potential businesses across a range of sectors. Equity financing can support transformative growth, acquisitions, new market entry, and succession or shareholder changes.
At RSM, our capital raising team combines the expertise of former bankers, private equity professionals, venture capital specialists, and experienced accountants. Together, we help business' structure and secure funding that supports their long-term goals — whether through debt, equity, or a tailored blend of both.
We guide clients through every stage of the funding journey, from assessing capital needs and preparing investment-ready materials, to identifying and engaging with the right investors or lenders, negotiating optimal terms, and supporting post-transaction integration and growth.
Debt capital solutions
We guide clients in assessing debt capacity, reviewing current financing arrangements, and optimising capital structures. Our team has deep experience across all types of debt products available to mid-market and growth companies — including corporate loans, asset-based lending, leasing, receivables finance, leveraged loans, mezzanine finance, and project finance. We support you throughout the funding journey, from identifying and engaging the most suitable lenders to negotiating competitive terms that maximise value.
