The London Manhattan Company

What The London Manhattan Company does

The London Manhattan Company (LMC), established in 1989, is a privately held U.S. commercial finance intermediary that sources debt and equity financing for client companies. Operating from a headquarters in Boothbay Harbor, Maine with additional principal locations in Florida, Maine, South Carolina, Colorado, and Arizona, the firm is staffed by five senior principals — three Senior Managing Directors (Ronald C. Giguere, Michael P. Chemodurow, Steve Henricks), one Managing Director (Marc A. Giguere), and one additional Senior Managing Director (David W. Case). All principals carry prior CEO, CFO, investment banking (Drexel Burnham Lambert, L.F. Rothschild), or senior operating experience, which is presented as the firm's primary differentiator.

LMC does not lend its own capital, build technology, or act as a registered broker-dealer. It maintains daily contact with a broad universe of institutional lenders and specialty funding sources, integrates multiple lenders into single transactions when needed, and arranges senior secured, mezzanine, unitranche, and minority/majority equity placements ranging from $2 million to $200 million-plus. Transaction types include acquisitions, recapitalizations, bridge loans, buyouts, turnarounds, distressed and fast-close situations, private equity and independent sponsor deals, family office deals, equity infusions, dividend recaps, LBO/MBO, and note purchases, across manufacturing, oil and gas, healthcare, telecommunications, IT, environmental, food service, government contracting, real estate, retail, and financial services sectors.

The firm operates on a sales-led, relationship-driven go-to-market with a success-based fee model — clients pay nothing upfront, and advisory/investment banking fees are paid only at closing from financing proceeds, with exclusivity required during the engagement. LMC has reportedly arranged more than $1 billion in debt and equity facilities for its clients over the past ten years, with typical deals closing in approximately eight weeks.
