WHAT IS A DIRECT PLACEMENT
Distribute your securities directly - no underwriting bank, no platform operator
A direct placement is a offering a company runs itself - issuing one instrument of its choice (a bond, mezzanine debt, participation rights or a fund unit) straight to its own investors, instead of through an underwriting bank, a public marketplace or a multi-deal platform. You set the terms, own the investor relationship and keep the economics. For a single, self-run raise it is the leanest route.
INSTRUMENTS
Corporate Bonds
Fixed-income securities you place directly with your investors at a set coupon and maturity, with no underwriting bank in between.
Subordinated / Mezzanine Debt
Debt that ranks behind your senior lenders and counts as equity-like capital, strengthening your balance sheet without giving up ownership.
Profit-participation Rights
A hybrid instrument that pays investors a share of profit without granting voting rights or diluting your equity.
Profit-participating Loans
A loan whose return tracks your revenue or profit instead of a fixed coupon, aligning the investor's payout with performance.
Tokenized Asset
Any of these instruments issued as a digital security on a licensed register, unlocking fractional ownership, automated administration and secondary-market readiness.
Equity-like Structures
Convertible and equity-style instruments, including tokenized equity, that give investors ownership-linked upside while you keep control of your cap table.

FIT
When direct placement is (and isn't) the right route
Direct placement fits a single, self-marketed raise where you already have investor relationships. It is not the right route if you need broad retail distribution and marketing reach , or an EU crowdfunding offer under ECSPR, up to €5M over 12 months), or if you are raising above your national prospectus-exemption ceiling and would rather not produce a full prospectus. Offering across several EU countries usually means an EU prospectus, which passports EU-wide - a national lighter-disclosure document does not.
