Corporate Bonds and Private Debt
Companies looking to raise capital without diluting ownership can access private debt instruments — private debt, mezzanine debt, or corporate bond issuances. VERTIK assists with structuring and implementing the right solution.
For companies seeking to raise capital without shareholder dilution, corporate bonds and private debt solutions represent effective alternatives to traditional bank financing. Depending on the company’s objectives, we help identify the optimal financing structure and coordinate the entire capital-raising process.
Corporate bonds - see if they fit your strategy
Companies seeking capital through debt instruments can opt for a bond issuance — an option that VERTIK evaluates together with clients, alongside alternatives such as a stock market listing, attracting a private equity fund, or accessing private debt.
Through a bond issuance, companies can support investments, operational expansion, refinancing of existing loans, or the implementation of strategic projects. Corporate bonds can be private, meaning they are issued to one or more holders, or publicly listed, allowing bonds to be issued to multiple investors and subsequently traded on the market. Before launching the process, we assess whether issuing bonds is the most suitable solution for the company and whether it aligns with its development objectives.
Compared with traditional bank financing, a bond issuance can provide a more flexible financing structure tailored to the company’s needs. Depending on the characteristics of the issuance, the principal is generally repaid at maturity, while interest (the coupon) is paid periodically, for example semi-annually. This type of structure can better support investment projects or periods of accelerated growth, providing the company with greater flexibility in managing cash flows.
At the same time, issuing bonds enables the diversification of financing sources and access to capital market investors, helping reduce reliance on a single source of capital and building a long-term relationship with the investor community.

Throughout the entire process, we support you in analyzing the available options and structuring an issuance tailored to your company’s objectives, ensuring that the chosen financing solution aligns both with your development plans and the issuer’s financial profile.
How does a bond issuance work
Through a bond issuance, a company can raise capital from investors through a public offering or a private placement. Depending on the transaction structure, the company can obtain financing through bond issuance tailored to its development plans and financial profile.
After completing the transaction, the bonds can be listed on the Bucharest Stock Exchange, providing investors with the opportunity to trade them. If the company’s objective is to access the capital market, we also support you throughout the process of listing corporate bonds on the Bucharest Stock Exchange (BVB).
Mezzanine Finance and Private Debt – Capital for Growing Companies
For entrepreneurs who prefer not to dilute their equity, private debt — together with instruments such as mezzanine debt and private bonds — represents a financing path that VERTIK includes in its recommendations, alongside equity solutions and strategic partnerships.
In addition to bonds, companies can access mezzanine finance or private debt solutions tailored to development projects, acquisitions, or refinancing needs. These instruments provide flexibility in structuring financing and can complement or replace other sources of capital, depending on the company’s requirements. Typically, these solutions offer more flexible repayment terms, with or without collateral, but also involve a higher cost of borrowing.
Each project is different. That is why we assess whether a bond issuance, a private debt financing solution, or a mezzanine finance structure represents the most suitable option for the company’s objectives and growth strategy.
If you are considering financing through corporate bonds or want to determine whether a private debt solution is more suitable for your company, we invite you to discuss the available options and the necessary steps for raising capital.
