A Private Placement is a financing transaction between a company and a limited number of institutional investors based on the sale of bonds, stocks, securities or other investments directly to a limited number of investors.

Investors involved in private placements are usually large banks, mutual funds, insurance companies and pension funds.

A private placement is different from a public issue, in which securities are made available for sale on the open market to any type of investors.

Private placements are exempt from being registered, creating a prospectus or getting a credit rating from a bond agency, in case of bonds selling. They constitute a less expensive placement and a good opportunity to raise capital.

The issuance of bonds and hybrid instruments allows entrepreneurs to attract capital without giving away equity. The issuance is structured through a securitisation vehicle. The Bond issuance is then subscribed by potential investors who then receive a yield which depends on the risk and value of the underlying company or assets

Creatrust helps in structuring bonds and issuing bonds and hybrid instruments for smaller and medium-sized enterprises as well. It used to be possible to issue bonds only for capital needs in excess of EUR 50 million. Creatrust offers solutions from as little as EUR 1 million and with lead times of several weeks only.
