As an alternative to traditional credit financing, medium-sized companies have access to creative financing instruments in the capital market. These have been increasingly in demand following the global economic crisis and in light of the changed regulatory framework (Basel III). This book provides practitioners, their advisors, and students with comprehensive and practical information about the various forms of financing for medium-sized enterprises. The focus is on the legal and tax aspects and specifics of IPOs, capital increases, bonds, loans, derivatives, securitizations, and private equity.
