The Firm

Disciplined judgment.
Strategic counsel.
Deliberate execution.

SilverGreen Capital is a boutique investment bank whose practice covers mergers and acquisitions, capital structure solutions, strategic and financial advisory, and special situations — principally in Mexico and the United States.

We advise owners, families, investors, companies, and boards on the decisions that define the trajectory of a business or a family's assets — transactions and situations where the financial and strategic stakes are consequential.

Our
Approach

The partners engage directly in every mandate, from origination through execution. The firm operates as a boutique, and the number of engagements accepted each year reflects that intention. Each mandate receives the full attention of the partnership and bears the full weight of the firm's commitment to each client.

SilverGreen operates without a balance sheet to deploy, places no proprietary product, and holds no institutional position that would compromise the integrity of its counsel. The advice is independent in the fullest sense, and it stands entirely on its merits.

Selectivity is one of the firm's principal operating commitments. The number of mandates accepted each year is deliberately limited — not as a posture, but as the condition under which the quality of counsel is maintained. It is precisely what allows the partners to remain genuinely close to each engagement, attentive to its principals and its particular pressures, and to give the kind of advice that volume-driven practices cannot.

Each mandate is approached on its own terms. The partners bring no standard framework, no house view, and no predetermined outcome. The work is constructed around the specific conditions of each transaction, acknowledging that every engagement is a distinct situation — with its own logic, its own principal relationships, and its own set of constraints and objectives.

The members of the senior team have spent their careers at the intersection of deal structuring, strategic counsel, and execution — advising, designing, and at times participating as co-investors and principals alongside their clients. That triple vantage point informs how risk is read, how structure is evaluated, and how counterparts are anticipated.

Rigorous in its analysis and unconflicted in its counsel, the firm is positioned to give the kind of advice that others cannot.

Capabilities

Senior counsel,
applied directly
to each mandate.

The firm advises across four areas of practice — mergers and acquisitions, capital structure solutions, strategic and financial advisory, and special situations. Mandates frequently arise at defining moments: ownership transitions, liquidity events, or junctures at which the financial architecture of a business requires fundamental reconsideration.

Discretion is a founding principle of the firm and embedded in everything it does. As such, selected transaction experience is available upon request.

Mergers &
Acquisitions

SilverGreen advises on mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, and strategic combinations — domestic and cross-border, across industries and ownership structures.

The firm's involvement spans process design, valuation, negotiation strategy, and coordination across all relevant constituencies. Structure and execution are where transactions succeed or fail.

Capital
Solutions

When a business requires new capital, a reconfigured balance sheet, or a diversified financing base, the firm advises on the design and execution of the appropriate structure — across equity, debt, and hybrid instruments, in domestic and cross-border markets.

Mandates range from private debt, structured and asset-backed facilities, project finance, and refinancings to minority and sponsor capital. The firm also advises on the optimization of a company's leverage — aligning the debt-to-equity structure with its cash flow profile, strategic objectives, and risk tolerance. In each case, the goal is consistent: allocate risk with precision and preserve the flexibility to act decisively through transitions and realignments.

Strategic &
Financial
Advisory

The firm provides independent counsel to boards, shareholders, senior management, and other stakeholders on capital structure, strategic alternatives, and consequential corporate decisions.

This work includes fund structuring, financial opinions, valuation, capital assessments, investment or project analysis, and the deliberate evaluation of strategic options in advance of material corporate actions.

Special
Situations

Not all transactions unfold under normal conditions. Competing interests, structural complexity, compressed timelines, and factors that were not originally in play can fundamentally alter the parameters of a mandate.

This work includes liability management exercises, negotiated recapitalizations, ad-hoc transactions, and non-standard mandates where multiple constituencies must be aligned under atypical pressure and circumstances.

Independent
Investment
Platform

AmperCap is a Private Equity Independent Sponsor focused on lower middle market opportunities across traditional consumer sectors in Mexico and the United States, and it operates separately and independently from SilverGreen's advisory mandates.
