Capital Advisory & Strategy

rnrn

Don McClain provides capital advisory services focused on evaluating capital stack composition, lender suitability, and transaction feasibility under current market conditions. His role typically involves assessing borrower financial profiles, collateral characteristics, market positioning, and projected operating performance. From this evaluation, he develops a structured framework that identifies viable capital pathways while outlining constraints, regulatory considerations, and execution risk.

Engagements may involve reviewing existing debt structures, advising on refinancing strategies, guiding recapitalization scenarios, or structuring acquisition financing approaches. Emphasis is placed on disciplined underwriting logic rather than promotional positioning. Market volatility, rate sensitivity, covenant structures, and liquidity factors are considered in forming advisory conclusions.

The advisory process is designed to ensure that capital decisions reflect both immediate transactional needs and longer-term operational stability. Particular attention is given to alignment between capital terms and the underlying performance characteristics of the asset or operating business. Where appropriate, scenario modeling and stress analysis are incorporated to test sustainability under varied economic conditions.
