Bridge & working capital
Explore a defined short-term funding requirement, the reason for the timing gap and the expected source of repayment. Review the operating cycle, existing obligations and what happens if the expected inflow is delayed.
CAPITAL SOLUTIONS
Start with the requirement.
Build the right discussion.
A financing requirement should be understood in the context of the business and the transaction. We consider the purpose of the capital, the proposed source of repayment, the timetable and the parties involved. Each proposal is reviewed individually.
TRANSACTION CONTEXT
Three areas of focus.
The appropriate route depends on the facts, the counterparties and the proposed terms. A listed area of focus does not imply that funding is available or that a proposal will be accepted.
Trade & receivables finance
Consider the underlying commercial transaction, buyer and supplier, contractual payment terms, delivery milestones and relevant documentation. Confirm the receivable or trade flow and identify disputes, concentration and performance risks.
Structured finance solutions
Discuss a requirement that needs a tailored combination of counterparties, cash flows, security or contractual arrangements. A workable structure must be understandable, documented and supported by the relevant parties.
PREPARING THE FIRST CONVERSATION
Bring the facts that matter.
- Company details and the authorized contact person.
- The purpose, amount, currency and required timing.
- A concise explanation of the business or transaction.
- The proposed source and timing of repayment or realization.
- Available financial information and relevant contracts.
- The parties already involved and their respective roles.
Begin with a concise summary. Where appropriate, confidential documents can be exchanged through the Client Portal once access and the relevant arrangements are in place.
