This week we speak with Stephen Lewis, founder, Cross Border Strategies LLC. His firm provides advice to global middle market companies as they structure transactions internationally and assists those companies in sourcing the necessary financing.

The Lead Left: Steve, it’s been a while since we’ve spoken. Remind our readers what your firm focuses on.

Stephen Lewis: We help middle market companies assess, structure and source their financing requirements outside the US. It has to be a cross-border deal for us to get involved. That can be a US company going abroad, or someone in another jurisdiction with no US connections at all. For example  a Czech Republic  based business figuring out how to finance equipment locally.
