What TFC Capital does

TFC Capital (Philippines), Inc. is a privately held corporate advisory firm dedicated to the Philippine market, founded in 2009 and headquartered at 9D 8 Rockwell, Hidalgo corner Plaza Drive, Rockwell Center, Makati City. The firm intermediates cross-border funding between Philippine companies and a network of offshore lenders, private equity investors, and industrial partners, with a stated emphasis on long-term, committed working capital relationships rather than one-off transactions. Its client base spans renewable energy, agriculture, banking, insurance, healthcare, mining, real estate, food & beverage, and aviation, served through enterprise and mid-market mandates.

The firm's product platform is organized into three service lines: Capital Raising (with debt sub-products including acquisition finance, equipment finance, growth capital, mezzanine debt, project finance, quasi-equity, trade finance, and working capital, and equity sub-products including cornerstone investments, common/preferred shares, joint ventures, pre-IPO capital, and partnerships), Mergers & Acquisition Advisory (buy-side and sell-side mandates for buyouts, mergers, and asset or subsidiary transactions), and Advisory Services (capital structuring and restructuring, corporate structuring, and financial and transaction advisory). TFC Capital operates without a proprietary technology platform or API surface; delivery is conducted on a consultative, relationship-driven basis by a four-person management team.

TFC Capital generates revenue through advisory and transaction fees, with pricing negotiated per engagement depending on transaction size, complexity, and scope; no standard fee schedule, retainer, or success-fee structure is publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct-to-enterprise, supplemented by website content, placeholder social media handles, and partner referrals from capital sources in Hong Kong, Singapore, New Zealand, Australia, and Canada. The firm maintains a sister-company relationship with Harbie Finance, Inc., a Philippine consumer and small business lender led by TFC Capital's head of debt products.
