At Merchant Capital, we take pride in our history of helping so many communities across the Southeast attain their goals by assisting in their strategic planning and capital raising processes.

Merchant Capital is an investment and merchant banking company with offices in Montgomery, Alabama and Atlanta, Georgia. We are a licensed securities firm and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (or "FINRA") www.finra.org.

Our focus is on public and project finance, real estate finance, corporate finance, healthcare and higher education. We are dedicated to these market areas and pursue business with a high level of enthusiasm, experience and commitment to success.

The special needs of our clients are well understood. We go beyond the traditional role of a securities underwriter, financial advisor or venture capitalist. For decades we have assisted governmental and business clients in building projects that provide jobs, serve needs and enhance quality of life in communities. Our participation and leadership in economic development throughout the region provides insights and opportunities for our clients. We have experience that goes well beyond financing. From our knowledge of economic incentives and legislative issues to our long-established network of contacts in both government and business, we provide clients a tradition of success.

Merchant Capital has experience in both the public and private debt markets. Our relationships with institutional and retail investors, along with daily participation in the public bond markets, give us the insight and ability to access the capital market most appropriate for each client.

As a registered securities firm, we sell to retail and institutional investors directly utilizing state of the art technology and communication tools to provide the broadest possible distribution of our client’s securities. Merchant Capital’s marketing efforts are focused solely on our client’s financings as we are not diverted by the marketing of stocks, mutual funds and insurance products. As a result, we are extremely knowledgeable of the securities we sell and are successful in obtaining very favorable terms for our clients.

Merchant Capital’s sales efforts encompass all sectors of investors. Our “buy side” relationships, many going back over twenty years, include retail investors, insurance companies, mutual funds, banks, hedge funds, trust departments, professional asset management companies, and other financial institutions.

In addition to public offerings, Merchant Capital offers private placement alternatives and has relationships with many institutional investors and financial institutions that are active in the private placement market.
