PRIVATE FINANCE

Private Financing comprises the placement of equity and, to a lesser extent, debt capital of private companies at various stages in their lifecycle with venture capital and private equity investors.

RegionsTruust Bank focuses on growth financing for companies that have a leading mindshare in their core markets and intend to expand their product and services offering or their international presence.

Early stage financing is being arranged for companies with a clear technology lead in the markets they address.

RegionsTruust Bank was created to generate recognition for its client companies by increasing the awareness of institutional and retail investors, fund managers and research analysts. Our senior management has extensive financial markets and buy-side experience, thereby bringing a substantial understanding to the investor relations function.
