See How We Work
Most executives hold significant positions they cannot touch.
That is the problem we solve.
Six Areas of Specialist Focus
Stock-Backed Lending
Release liquidity from listed shares without selling. Non-recourse structure means your personal assets are never at risk. Fixed rates, 7–12 day funding, terms from 3 years to 10 years, with lock-ins applied on some shorter-term facilities. Client shares are held with an FCA-regulated custodian. Minimum loan $1 million with no upper limit. For high-net-worth individuals and investors, not only company directors.
Pre-IPO Capital
Access to pre-IPO opportunities before they reach public markets. We work directly with companies and advisors to give a curated group of investors first look typically 12 to 24 months ahead of listing.
MTNs & Bond Programmes
Direct access to Medium Term Note programmes and bond issuance for corporate borrowers and institutional buyers, with off-market execution and the right counterparties.
Special Situations
Distressed assets, CMBS, restructurings and opportunities that do not fit conventional funding or investor mandates. Speed, discretion and deep market knowledge.
Private Funding
For projects that do not qualify for a stock loan, funding can be arranged privately with accredited investors. Pitch deck review, then an investor memo, then introduction. Fees apply and are agreed upfront.
Capital for property. Investors for projects.
A1 Capital connects property projects with the capital they need, and investors with projects worth backing. Four decades of structuring experience applied to bricks, land and development from single acquisitions to joint ventures.
For projects seeking capital
Development funding, bridging, acquisition finance and JV equity for landlords, developers and builders. Whether it is a single refurbishment or a multi-unit scheme, we structure the raise, prepare the investor documentation, and introduce the project to a panel of accredited investors and family offices. Fees agreed upfront. No raise is put to the panel until the structure is right.
For investors seeking projects
Access to vetted property opportunities: development deals, income-producing assets, and joint ventures with experienced operators. Every opportunity arrives with structured documentation and a clear position on security, timeline and exit. For accredited and sophisticated investors; eligibility is always established first.
Property enquiries follow the same process as everything else here: one conversation, directly with Gary.
