About Harney Capital
HOW WE THINK

Start with the Facts,
Not a Predetermined Solution

A financing problem does not always require a refinancing. A liquidity issue does not always require a sale. A lender transition does not always require a formal restructuring.

Harney Capital begins by understanding:

Financing and refinancing solutions for companies whose timing, performance, collateral, or capital structure requires a non-conventional approach.

Capabilities include:

  • Current liquidity
  • Existing debt and capital structure
  • Available collateral
  • Operating performance
  • Upcoming maturities and lender deadlines
  • Sponsor and stakeholder support
  • Transaction objectives
  • Closing requirements

The team then determines which alternatives are viable and how the process should be structured.

How We Work

Senior Involvement

Senior professionals remain engaged throughout the mandate.

Focused Outreach

The firm approaches capital providers and buyers selected for their relevance to the opportunity.

Direct Market Feedback

Process Discipline

Ability to Pivot

When operating results, lender requirements, or market conditions change, the team adjusts the process quickly.
