THE INDEPENDENT SPONSORS' INVESTMENT BANK
Save Time. Get Better Economics. Find the Right Partner.
Access Capital Partners (ACP) is a middle market investment bank focused exclusively on raising debt and equity capital for independent sponsors, executives and family offices.
ACP has developed a tailored approach to help independent sponsors efficiently secure the right debt and equity capital partners, on the best economics terms. We've changed the way the independent sponsors secure capital and strive to be an innovator in the space.
We pride ourselves on being a trusted partner and resource in the
independent sponsor community.
ADVANTAGES OF PARTNERING WITH ACP
IMPROVED INDEPENDENT SPONSOR ECONOMICS.
Independent sponsor fees and economics shouldn't be the only objective of a sponsor, but they are important.
While no two transactions are alike, historically, ACP clients have achieved above market deal fees, ongoing compensation, management fees and equity participation.
Our process yields results.
LEVERAGE OUR RELATIONSHIPS AND EXPERTISE.
We've spent years building relationships with alternatives debt funds, family offices, private equity firms and traditional institutional LPs that invest with independent sponsors.
We've also developed a tailored approach that creates optionality, uncovers the right capital partners and improves success rates.
SAVE TIME. FOCUS ON VALUE CREATING ACTIVITIES.
For an independent sponsor, time is your most precious resource.
Let us take the burden of raising capital off your shoulders, so you can focus on deal sourcing, building relationships with business owners and growing existing portfolio companies.
IMPROVE THE PROBABILITY OF SUCCESS.
We are a constant source of feedback for many new and experienced independent sponsors. We'll gladly provide guidance on transaction viability, structures and capital alternatives to help you refine which opportunities to pursue.
When we're hired, we pride ourselves on delivering results. Ask us what our success rate is. (Hint- it's really, really good.)

THE TYPICAL INDEPENDENT SPONSOR PROFILE
The typical fundless or independent sponsor combines the rigor, sophistication and approach of a traditional private equity firm, but maintains the flexibility and autonomy of operating without the mandates to deploy committed LP capital.
The most successful fundless sponsors focus on institutional quality deal sourcing, transaction execution, portfolio company monitoring and often invest personal funds along-side other investors.
Most commonly, independent sponsors have finance and strategy backgrounds stemming from experience in private equity, investment banking or consulting or have backgrounds as operating executives who have built and grown companies from the inside.
As the independent sponsor model evolves and institutional capital partners become more selective, it is increasingly important for the sponsor to "add value" either by taking on an operational role in the acquired company or through an active board member/advisory role.
