BIA Digital Partners LP, BIAfn's direct investment fund, provides subordinated debt and preferred equity for private telecommunications, media, entertainment and information services companies throughout the United States. Investments range between $2 million and up to $25 million with co-investment from our limited partners. This fund is one of the nations' only mezzanine investors of investments under $25 million that has a thorough understanding, comfort and desire to help grow the often unique, more highly leveraged communications firms.

The Fund's objective is to provide flexible, cost effective junior capital to allow companies to respond to opportunities and thus enhance shareholder value. The emphasis is on growth capital for businesses that are undertaking consolidation or employing new digital technologies in communications segments with recurring revenue streams and within a regulatory or economic franchise. The following describes some of the ways in which we assist your portfolio partners:

ACQUISITION/ CONSOLIDATION

BIA Digital Partners brings extensive knowledge of the media and telecom industries to owner/operators looking to grow through acquisition within their industry. In addition to funding, we provide insightful guidance in evaluating purchases from both a financial and strategic perspective, thereby increasing our partner's opportunity for success.

MANAGEMENT BUYOUT OF A PRIVATE COMPANY

We have worked with many qualified managers to help them acquire an ownership interest in the company that they operate. Our mezzanine funding and assistance in the negotiation process greatly enhances our partner's ownership position.

OWNER RECAPITALIZATION

Recapitalization provides an excellent opportunity for an owner looking to obtain personal liquidity from the company while retaining equity ownership. BIA Digital Partners becomes an ideal partner in this scenario, providing funding while guiding the owner through important strategic considerations.

FAMILY SUCCESSION

The transferring of ownership of a company from the senior generation, often the founders, to other family members is a critical concern in many media and telecom companies. Acting on a confidential basis, BIA Digital Partners provides personal liquidity for the outgoing owners while becoming a financial and strategic partner with the new management team.
