We invest our own capital and source private and institutional capital through a network of private and institutional investors into a wide variety of sectors and situations. Adequate and supportive funding is fundamental to continued corporate growth. The final type of capital sourced will be determined by your objectives. For example: raising capital for acquisitions, equipment purchases, marketing or working capital to expand market share may require bank debt, mezzanine debt, private convertible debt or private or pubic equity. BELL has strong relationships with accredited investors, money managers, pension funds, banks, insurance companies, mutual funds, hedge funds, venture capital firms, and off-shore private equity firms.
