Frequently Asked Questions
How is optimal debt structure for a business determined?
We assess the company’s funding objectives, cash flow profile, capital expenditure plans, existing liabilities, collateral availability and growth strategy to design an efficient capital structure that balances cost, flexibility, risk and execution certainty.
How long does it take to complete a debt syndication transaction?
Timelines vary based on complexity of transactions, lender requirements, diligence processes, documentation and approvals. Transactions typically close and disburse within one to three months of mandate execution.
Why should a company engage a debt advisor instead of approaching lenders directly?
An exerienced debt advisor provides independent structuring expertise, access to a wider lender network, market intelligence, negotiation support and transaction management capabilities. A competitive lender identification process often improves pricing and terms of the transaction. With more than 25 years of experience, we help facilitate debt arrangements while reducing management bandwidth requirements.
What information is generally required to initiate a debt raising mandate?
The process begins with a review of financial statements, business plans, existing debt facilities and funding objectives. Specific requirements vary depending on the transaction type and lender profile.
What are the key factors lenders evaluate before extending credit facilities?
Lenders typically assess business performance, cash flow generation, management quality, industry outlook, leverage levels, collateral coverage, repayment capacity and overall transaction risk profile.
For a transaction, how are right lenders identified?
We match each transaction with lenders whose appetite aligns with the sector, ticket size, tenor, security expectations, and risk profile, ensuring a focused and high-quality funding process. This is industry knowledge gained through experience and network.
How are refinancing mandates typically approached?
We evaluate the existing debt structure, pricing, covenants, tenor, and amortization profile to identify opportunities for cost optimization, balance-sheet efficiency, or structural improvement. We approach the right set of lenders based on the required terms. The most important element in refinancing mandates is the cost benefit analysis as a one-time shifting cost has to justify the recurring interest and cash flow savings.
How does the team support acquisition financing and buyout transactions?
For acquisitions and buyouts, we assess the target and combined business cash flows, size sustainable leverage, design the financing structure and map relevant lenders or debt funds. We then run a competitive process, negotiate pricing, covenants and security, and coordinate with legal and tax advisors to close the transaction.
How are fees structured for debt advisory mandates?
We work on success driven fees. We may charge a nominal upfront fee on certain kinds of structured transactions, but majority of our fees are payable on disbursement. This ensures alignment of objectives with the company and end to end support till disbursement.
