About Us

Clarity in capital structure.
Confidence in growth.

CapDer is an independent boutique consultancy specialising in capital structure solutions for corporate borrowers. We connect companies with non-bank institutional financing sources, leveraging deep investor relationships that function as a versatile toolbox for building the right capital structure in a timely manner.

We are a specialist Pan-European private markets transaction originator for institutional investors. As well as providing consultancy services on corporate lending solutions we consult on real estate and infrastructure financing situations. We act as an introductory agent between parties and do not provide financial or investment advice.

CapDer thrives on complexity, bringing clarity to corporate capital structure needs to unlock their ability to grow. We view debt as a lever to elevate a company’s trajectory and free it to develop the company’s potential. Correctly deployed debt is an enabling tool, rather than a constrictive obligation.

Our pipeline consists of transactions ranging from EUR 5–10 million up to EUR 300 million. Incorporated in Dublin and active across the UK, Ireland, Scandinavia, the DACH region and Eastern Europe, we operate from offices in Dublin, London and Helsinki.

Focused on supporting SMEs seeking patient institutional capital, CapDer bridges the gap to alternative non-bank markets, offering introductions to our clients which enable access to growth funding where traditional lenders may lack capacity or appetite. Our Pan-European presence and sector-agnostic expertise position us to deliver tailored, impactful financing solutions for corporate borrowers across the continent.

A partnership forged in capital markets

Peter Carroll and Remi Derieux have worked together in High Yield and Distressed Capital markets for 17 years when Peter was a buyside Hedge Fund credit investor and Remi was Head of European Leveraged Finance Sales at various top tier Investment banks.

Through our combined 60 years’ experience in capital markets, credit trading, capital structure arbitrage, credit syndication and special situations we are uniquely positioned to connect the borrower with the appropriate capital partner. Our focus is on private credit idea origination. This differentiates us from introductory agents who are focused on Banking relationships to source Non Performing Loan portfolio ideas to sell onto credit investors and turnaround experts.
