Frequently asked questions
How does Soho Square Capital structure its investments to avoid traditional private equity dilution?
Soho Square uses a blend of credit instruments and minority equity stakes, constructing each financing package around the founder's objective of retaining control. Rather than taking board seats or majority ownership, the firm structures solutions — including subordinated debt, preferred equity, and minority common equity — that align with a company's cash flows and the owner's personal goals. This approach means the capital acts more like flexible balance-sheet support than a conventional buyout.
How does Soho Square Capital source its deals?
Soho Square emphasizes direct origination with founders and management teams, rather than auction processes intermediated by investment banks. Its value proposition — bespoke, non-control financing — attracts business owners seeking growth or transition capital without a full sale. This sourcing model depends heavily on the team's network and reputation among owner-operators.
