Capital raising is the business.
Every mandate is treated as a financing assignment from day one. We focus on the structure, materials, lender fit and execution required to move from a capital need to a funded transaction.
Private Credit & Structured Debt
Capital beyond the ordinary bank loan.
Structured by people who have raised it before.
Omm Capital Advisors advises companies and promoters on private credit, structured debt, venture debt and project finance across domestic and international capital markets.

The Firm
A boutique built on the borrower's side of the table.
Structure before placement.
Before approaching the market, we determine the appropriate instrument, capital stack, repayment profile, security package and covenant framework. Lenders receive a coherent credit proposition rather than a generic funding request.
A competitive capital process.
We approach relevant lenders against a common structure and manage the process through comparison, negotiation and closing. Proposals are assessed on pricing, tenor, security, covenants and execution certainty.
What We Do
Capital solutions across the debt spectrum.
Private credit and structured debt
NCDs, mezzanine debt, holdco and promoter financing, and bespoke structures for requirements that conventional lending cannot accommodate.
Project, infrastructure and data centre finance
Construction and operating-asset finance structured around project milestones, contracted revenues and long-term cash flows.
Venture and growth debt
Non-dilutive and minimally dilutive capital for venture-backed and growth-stage companies seeking to extend runway, fund expansion or bridge the period between equity rounds.
Acquisition and bridge financing
Time-sensitive capital for acquisitions, promoter buyouts, refinancing gaps and transactions awaiting permanent funding.
Refinancing and capital-structure advisory
Liability optimisation ahead of maturity, including lender consolidation, covenant resets, tenor extension and reduction in financing cost.
CFO advisory

Sectors

How We Execute
A disciplined process from first assessment to drawdown.
Complex financings are rarely won through lender outreach alone. They are won by presenting a credible structure, anticipating credit concerns and maintaining momentum through execution.
The objective is not simply to obtain a term sheet. It is to secure a structure the business can execute and service.
Diagnose
Assess the requirement, existing liabilities, cash-flow profile, security, growth plan and transaction constraints.
Structure
Develop the appropriate instrument, capital stack, repayment profile, security package and lender proposition.
Prepare
Build the financial model, information memorandum and diligence materials required for credit assessment.
Market and negotiate
Run a targeted process across suitable banks, NBFCs, private-credit funds, venture-debt providers and international lenders, and negotiate commercial terms.
Close
Coordinate diligence, documentation, conditions precedent and drawdown through funding.
Team
Experience across the full life of institutional capital.
Omm combines three decades of principal-side capital experience with research-led origination and hands-on execution.
