Global Principal Partners is a global financial advisory, restructuring and merchant banking firm. Unlike traditional investment banking firms that focus almost exclusively on the capital raising components of a transaction, GPP's role as financial advisor often begins at the early stages of corporate development and continues through the capital raising process. GPP’s services frequently include:

• serving in various management roles, including the CEO and CFO roles on an interim basis,
• financial structuring and design,
• negotiating and structuring vendor and construction contracts,
• negotiating all major utility and service contracts, including power and rail contracts,
• designing and structuring supply and product offtake agreements,
• structuring royalty and licensing arrangements,
• conducting worldwide competitive site selection activities,
• negotiating and structuring government incentive packages provided by local, state, federal, and international sources, and
• capital raising, including placements of both debt and equity financing.

Given the dynamic nature of the industrial businesses GPP advises, the services offered by GPP cover a wide array of situations including:

• project and expansion financings,
• merger and acquisition advisory engagements,
• debt and equity private placements,
• consolidations and industry roll-ups, and
• restructurings and bankruptcies.

GPP’s business location and incentive procurement practice incorporates business location, site selection and incentive analysis and negotiation in an integrated process that ensures a complete assessment of the benefits of a potential location ranging from securing upfront grants and loans to negotiated utility rates and tax incentives for clients worldwide.  Most of GPP’s clients benefit from newly created legislative incentives which GPP often times drafts and helps enact.  

With a unique focus on the metals industry, GPP, through its affiliated company TSM, provides clients with turnaround crisis management services. These services vary widely depending on the particular restructuring situation but typically focus on onsite day-to-day management involvement and the implementation of a series of financial restructuring steps targeted at first stabilizing the business, followed by an infusion of capital.   As TSM’s personnel have done successfully in some of the most severe restructuring situations in the steel industry, extensive effort is made to deploy the expert resources necessary to interface with all stakeholders, including management, equity holders, debt holders, employees, customers and communities in an open and transparent manner.  With most restructuring situations requiring rapid decision making, TSM’s onsite presence and active management role provides for a uniquely effective mechanism to not only help make the necessary decisions but implement them as well.  It is also important to note that GPP has a long history and preference for taking equity positions in its clients through direct investments or co-investments along side of other financial investors.  This includes restructuring clients.
