Ocean Capital

Ocean Capital was founded by Pedro Errazuriz in 2002. In December 2014, it merged with Church House Trust Bank to form Bank and Clients PLC; Errazuriz later led that bank's merchant-banking unit before returning to Ocean's current structure.

The firm advises and arranges financing for medium-sized enterprises across Europe, including debt and equity raising, private debt, acquisitions, joint ventures, strategic partnerships and governance changes. Its model is relationship-led and highly customised rather than centred on a standard product range or high-volume execution.

Ocean is particularly relevant for students interested in entrepreneurial corporate finance, complex financing structures and cross-border mid-market work. Its public profile indicates a very small team, so junior employees are likely to work close to senior professionals across origination, execution and distribution.
