Scope of Service

We work with you through every step of the financing process.

Finance advisory

Every business case is different and there is no such a thing as a run-off-the-mill solution.

This is why we always make sure that we first get a sound understanding of the situation of our client and the specificities of its markets.

It is on the strength of this analysis that we then determine the different available options both in terms of financing structures and potential lenders.
Facility structuring

As a team of trade finance specialists who interact on a daily basis with lenders and insurers, we have a good knowledge of the on-going market trends in terms of facility types (bi-lateral versus syndicated, committed versus uncommitted, transactional versus declarative…), level of securities, financial convenants applicable and pricing.

Our experts model different financing options to support our clients in designing the best targeted structure and financing mix.
Debt placement

We handle all steps of debt placement, from sounding out possible lenders through to writing the information memorandum and arranging the syndication – making sure you get the best terms possible.

Our market insight and constant interactions with financial institutions help us detect the most relevant entry point with each financier. We always act in close connection with our clients ensuring that no contact is being made by a member of our team with any third party without the prior consent of our client.
