Wall Street LLC helps business owners design the “blueprint” of their company – how ownership, control, and capital are organized – so the business can grow, raise money, and protect its value over time.
Our Structuring Service is for founders who know their business, but don’t necessarily know how to design the right corporate and capital structure. We turn complicated structuring questions into clear, step‑by‑step decisions.
Who We Work With
We focus on privately held businesses whose owners are:
- Planning to grow, expand, or acquire
- Preparing to raise capital or refinance
- Looking ahead to a sale, succession, or possible listing
- Concerned about control, dilution, or family ownership issues
You don’t need to be an expert in corporate or capital structures. We guide you through the options and their consequences in plain language.
What Our Structuring Service Includes
1. Diagnostic: Where You Stand Today
We start by understanding your current set‑up and your goals:
- Review existing ownership, shareholder arrangements, and debt
- Identify risks (personal guarantees, concentration of control, messy cap tables, etc.)
Clarify your priorities:
- How much control do you want to keep?
- What level of dilution are you comfortable with?
- What exit or succession path do you envision?
You leave this phase with a clear picture of your current structure and the issues we need to solve.
2. Capital Structure Design
Next, we design how money and ownership should be arranged to support your strategy:
- Decide on the balance between equity, debt, and hybrid instruments
- Design share classes (ordinary shares, preferred shares, non‑voting shares, etc.)
- Consider convertible instruments, warrants, and other tools where appropriate
Build structures that can accommodate:
- Multiple funding stages
- Progressive or incremental pricing over time
- Future investors with different risk profiles
Our aim is a capital structure that is flexible, fundable, and fair to both you and your investors.
3. Entity & Group Structure
We help you organize the legal “map” of your business:
- Determine whether to operate as a single company or through a holding company and subsidiaries
- Separate operating assets from key strategic or intellectual property assets, where appropriate
Create structures that can support
- Long‑term, “perpetual” style models focused on sustainability and resilience
- Ring‑fencing of risk across different activities or business lines
- Future acquisitions or spin‑offs
The result is a clean, logical group structure that supports growth, protects value, and is easier for investors and buyers to understand.
4. Governance, Rights & Incentives
Good structures are not just about who owns what – they are about how decisions are made:
- Define board composition, voting arrangements, and oversight mechanisms
- Set investor rights: information rights, veto rights, pre‑emptive rights, and exit provisions
- Design shareholder agreements that balance protection with practicality
Create incentive structures for key managers and employees:
- Stock options or similar equity‑based plans
- Profit participation or phantom equity where direct ownership is not desired
We make sure governance, rights, and incentives align everyone around the same long‑term objectives.
5. Transaction‑Ready Structuring
If you are planning a major event, we prepare your structure to support it:
- Pre‑fundraising clean‑up (tidying the cap table, resolving legacy issues)
- Structuring to support staged funding, cascaded or phased listings, or other innovative approaches
- Preparing for strategic sale, joint venture, or merger
- Ensuring the structure is understandable and attractive to sophisticated investors and counterparties
Our goal is that, when an opportunity appears, your structure helps the deal instead of getting in the way.
6. Implementation & Coordination
We don’t just hand you a plan and walk away:
- Work alongside your legal, tax, and accounting advisers to implement the chosen structure
- Help translate the agreed structure into legal documents and corporate actions
- Build clear cap table models and scenario analyses so you see how ownership evolves over time
- Support communication with investors, lenders, and other stakeholders
You remain in control of decisions while we manage the complexity and keep all advisors moving in the same direction.
How We Work With Business Owners
We know many owners are not structuring or legal specialists. So we:
- Use straightforward language instead of technical jargon
- Break decisions into manageable steps
- Explain the trade‑offs of each option (control, risk, tax, future flexibility)
- Provide visual summaries (charts, cap tables, diagrams) so you can “see” the structure
You get a senior, hands‑on team that treats your structure as the foundation of your life’s work.
