Why it matters
Whatever challenge an organization faces, having the right professionals on its team can be critical to success. Our financial advisory professionals work closely with organizations, stakeholders and their counsel on the most complex business issues.
For each engagement, we assemble a team with the functional competence and industry knowledge appropriate to the situation.
Financing types
Why an independent adviser
We are not a bank and do not lend. Our only interest is the best financing for the client.
Approaching the right lenders in parallel, so terms are set by competition rather than by a single offer.
Covenants, security, tenor and flexibility often matter as much as the interest rate, and we negotiate all of them.
We prepare the materials, run the lender process and coordinate documentation, so management can run the business.
Our process
We review the business plan, cash flows and the purpose, size and tenor of the facility.
We recommend instruments, covenants and pricing that fit the borrower's profile.
We approach banks and institutional lenders and run a competitive process.
We negotiate terms and coordinate documentation through to drawdown.
Sources of capital
Domestic commercial and participation banks, for local-currency and foreign-currency facilities.
Lenders abroad, for larger transactions and companies with international operations.
Multilateral and bilateral lenders that finance long-term investment, often in infrastructure and energy.
Non-bank lenders offering flexible structures where bank finance is limited.
Agency-backed financing for imported equipment and capital goods.
