Turning complex, asset-deficient funding requirements into clearly defined and professionally structured corporate finance transactions.
IntaCapital Swiss is a boutique firm of Geneva-based corporate capital advisors, specialising in the structuring and facilitation of alternative capital-raising transactions. We work alongside corporate clients, project sponsors, asset owners, project developers, financial counterparties, and professional advisers to identify practical, bespoke routes to institutional funding where traditional commercial borrowing lines fall short of the required capital solution. We recognise that even highly viable commercial opportunities can struggle when an applicant falls outside a bank’s standard lending policy or requires a larger, more sophisticated financing structure.
Understanding Alternative Capital Advisory Services
Alternative capital advisory is a specialised corporate finance discipline that bridges the gap between sophisticated borrowers and non-traditional funding structures. Unlike standard brokerage, which merely introduces a client to a lender, alternative advisory focuses on bespoke capital structuring, engineering the capital stack from the ground up for companies that fall outside traditional underwriting parameters.
Our role encompasses transaction assessment, financial engineering, counterparty coordination, and total procedural oversight from initial compliance review to final custody implementation. Instead of delivering a simple introduction to a source of capital, we help define the entire commercial framework, including lending values, contractual terms, and the specific operational criteria required by tier-1 clearing custodians. One of our core specialist focus areas includes advising clients on the mechanics of our proprietary collateral transfer models, allowing companies to lease institutional-grade assets to secure their vital commercial credit lines.
Why Alternative Capital Advisory is Critical for Your Business
Traditional business funding depends almost entirely on the borrower offering existing hard real estate, cash deposits, or liquid investments as primary security. However, many credible businesses encounter a critical timing bottleneck: they require capital before those core assets have been acquired, developed, or fully completed. Whether it is a property developer needing capital to purchase land before construction, an infrastructure project requiring substantial startup funds before generating operating income, or an expanding company pursuing an acquisition before gaining control of the target assets, this systemic asset deficit leaves high-value projects stranded at the underwriting stage.
Working with an expert advisory firm resolves this institutional roadblock. Our boutique services specialise in raising growth capital without diluting equity through debt process adaptations, ensuring you retain full enterprise ownership. By leveraging alternative custody and security arrangements, such as placing an established third-party Debt Security under an approved blocking, control, or security arrangement, we transform complex, non-traditional business funding objectives into structured proposals that satisfy the rigorous risk criteria of global providers and institutional lenders alike. The underlying asset is never sold or permanently assigned as unrestricted property, allowing the provider to maintain ownership while enabling the borrower to access essential capital.

How We Structure the Alternative Capital Advisory Process
Facilitating a complex, non-traditional corporate transaction requires a highly disciplined, multi-stage process to move safely from initial concept to capital deployment:
-
Eligibility & Feasibility Assessment: We deeply review the applicant’s core commercial objectives, funding requirements, and underlying business case to determine if the transaction is viable for non-traditional structuring. We carefully analyse the requested amount, the intended borrowing term, and the proposed repayment route to ensure the project is suitable for a collateral-supported architecture.
-
Transaction Architecture & Preparation: Our team assembles your comprehensive documentation portfolio—including corporate and beneficial ownership trails, detailed project summaries, business plans, financial statements, forecasts, and use-of-funds schedules—into a robust, institutionally ready framework. Our objective is to build a coherent transaction rather than expecting counterparties to construct the solution around an incomplete file.
-
Counterparty Matching & Term Sheets: We present the structured proposal directly to approved asset providers and financial counterparties to establish the commercial terms of the facility, or market-issued securities (such as Credit Linked Notes) to support your capital requirements. During this phase, we negotiate the specific contract fees required by the provider, which remain entirely distinct from the interest and arrangement costs applied by the lender.
-
Compliance, Custody & Funding Execution: All formal collateral transfer, offering, custody, and blocking agreements are legally finalised, establishing clear parameters for how the asset will be controlled, released, or, in a default scenario, enforced upon. The chosen lending institution completes its final credit, legal, valuation, and compliance reviews, allowing the capital lines to be securely released. IntaCapital Swiss actively coordinates communication between all principal parties to support the transaction toward an orderly completion.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can alternative capital structures fix a project with weak financial projections?
No. While our advisory expertise is highly effective at resolving a severe security shortfall, it cannot transform an uncommercial project into a viable one. The strongest applications require an experienced management team, clear financial projections, and a demonstrable, bulletproof source of repayment. Collateral can solve a security deficit, but it cannot fix flawed underlying business fundamentals.
What asset classes are utilised during these advisory transactions?
Depending on the specific transaction model engineered for your company, structures can be built utilising high-grade banking instruments, corporate bonds, or securitised debt structures such as Credit Linked Notes (CLNs) and Actively Managed Certificates (AMCs) held within approved international custody networks.
Why is a defined exit strategy mandatory from the very beginning?
Because alternative capital facilities operate on a fixed contractual term, the borrowing timeline must perfectly match the availability of the underlying asset. Whether repayment stems from operating revenues, asset liquidation, or conventional bank refinancing, a clear exit path protects all parties from structural defaults. For example, if temporary collateral supports the initial construction phase of an infrastructure asset, the completed project must be independently valued and refinanced through conventional channels to pay off the original facility and release the underlying security free of liens.
Does a structured alternative capital proposal guarantee that institutional lenders will approve funding?
No. Every facility remains strictly subject to full due diligence, Provider approval, lender credit assessment, legal review, asset valuation, and final documentation. A lender will always undertake an independent review of the entire borrowing proposal, and acceptance by an asset provider does not automatically constitute approval by a funding institution. No responsible capital adviser can guarantee funding before these compliance and underwriting processes have been fully completed.
