Craven Street Capital (“CSC”) is a London-based corporate finance business specialising in M&A, fundraising, IPO and debt advisory.CSC was formed from the management buyout of PSource Capital Limited (“PCL”) in April 2017. The buyout has enhanced our ability to provide independent advice to our clients and allowed every single employee of CSC to own shares in the company, further aligning interests. PCL was originally established in 2006 as a fund management and corporate finance business within the Punter Southall Group whom remain a minority shareholder and client.CSC offers full transaction coverage, from initial analysis through to completion with extensive experience in mergers and acquisitions, and capital raises (including debt, mezzanine, private equity, project finance debt and equity, structured finance and IPOs).
