What Structured Capital Solutions does

Structured Capital Solutions (SCS) is an independent, privately-held structured finance advisory firm founded in 2016, with offices in New York and London (and a registered Delaware entity in Dover). The firm develops, structures, and arranges accounting- and tax-sensitive funding and investment transactions, including dividend received deduction (DRD) preference share capital raisings, cross-border intellectual property financing, tax credit monetization, REMIC residual interest restructuring, capital loss utilization, and leasing strategies. Indicative transaction sizes range from $250 million to over $2 billion, with engagement scope covering strategy evaluation through full execution. SCS is differentiated by in-house tax and regulatory capital expertise, deliberately avoiding 'tax shelters' or 'listed transactions' in favor of strategies vetted by external tax counsel.

The firm's go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-based: a three-partner senior team (Paul Edwards, Adam V. Parr, Marc Fuhrman, with 18–28+ years of experience at major banks including Deutsche Bank, Merrill Lynch, Societe Generale, Rothschild, and National Australia Bank) originates mandates directly from financial institutions, Fortune 500 multinationals, hedge funds, and private equity funds across North America, the UK, Continental Europe, Australasia, and Asia. Marketing channels are primarily professional networks (LinkedIn), direct client relationships, and industry events, with no digital demand-generation apparatus. The business generates revenue exclusively through advisory and transaction (arrangement) fees on closed mandates, with no disclosed recurring or subscription revenue stream.

SCS operates three core service lines — Structured Finance Strategies, Bankruptcy & Distress Advisory, and Intellectual Property Financing — the last delivered in part through an affiliated boutique, Global Film Finance (GFF), which has structured, arranged and invested over US$600 million in motion picture and media projects. Notable historical engagements include court-appointed advisory roles for Lehman Brothers and Southeast Banking Corporation, Arsenal Football Club's $500 million stadium financing, and the £3 billion Channel Tunnel Rail Link funding alternatives mandate. With 1–10 employees, the firm operates as a highly specialized boutique whose revenue is episodic and tied to a small number of large mandates rather than volume.
