Republic One Capital (ROC) was founded in 2015 and provides financing exclusively to the sports sector. ROC works with a range of funding partners dependent on the nature of the risk and transaction being considered. It currently works with global banking groups, pension and insurance funds, private equity funds, asset managers and family offices.
Republic One Capital launched in 2015, at a time where industry and technological advances in the sports, music and entertainment sectors, such as digital streaming and competition for broadcasting rights, were providing organizations, brands and individuals new and lucrative opportunities to capitalize on their talent and IP.
Many of the businesses in these sectors, despite being well positioned to leverage their intangible assets, lacked the access to institutional markets and the traditional financing needed to fund these commercial endeavors. Those willing to provide finance lacked the sector expertise to keep up with the fast-changing landscape and complex financial demands required to meet their clients’ needs.
Republic One Capital was built on the belief that businesses should have access to a higher standard of specialist financing than that experienced by other sectors. It has set out to fill this gap by leveraging its unique depth of knowledge to provide clients with a fairer, and better aligned solution that helps clients recognize the full value of their assets.
Following changes within the credit and financial markets, brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, ROC now focuses exclusively on financing the sports sector. ROC’s work continues to shape the sports financing landscape, helping to define, inform and educate the sector, whilst delivering finance with speed and efficiency.
Republic One Capital transaction structures range from traditional asset based
and off balance sheet lending facilities, to highly structured and customized buyout
financings. Our approach sets us apart from our competitors and we work with:
