Corporate debt advisory · By mandate

The bank structures for the bank. We structure for you.

Acquisition funding, growth capital, refinancing under pressure — run as a process, with competing term sheets, covenants negotiated, and the whole position presented to your board as one memo.

Advisory fees, disclosed up front. Our economics follow your outcome.

Same borrower, same facility — the difference a competitive process makes. Illustrative; outcomes depend on credit assessment.

The problem

Single-bank loyalty is expensive.

Most businesses hold the facilities their bank offered, on the covenants their bank drafted, at the price their bank reviews annually — in the bank's favour. Without competitive tension, every term defaults to the lender. And no bank will run a process against itself.

Illustrative margin movement we see when the same facility is put under genuine competition.

The number of banks that will voluntarily run a competitive process against themselves.

What we do

Three things, done properly.

A run process

Your requirement goes to the market as one disciplined pack — majors' corporate desks, non-banks, credit funds and private capital — returning competing term sheets you can actually compare.

CFO-grade structuring

Covenants, amortisation profile, security scope, guarantee exposure, review mechanics — negotiated line by line, signed off with your accountant, never around them.

Alignment by mandate

Engagement under our Mandate for Finance: scoped work fee, success fee on outcome, everything disclosed before we start. We're paid to move your position, not to place a product.

The process

Mandate. Market. Memo.

Step 01

Mandate & information pack

Facilities, financials, security and objectives assembled once, in lender-grade form. One document request, coordinated with your accountant.

Step 02

Run the market

Shortlist approached in parallel; term sheets returned, compared and negotiated. Tension does the work your incumbent never faced.

Step 03

Decide & execute

Board memo with our recommendation. Then credit, documentation and drawdown — managed to the day, reported at each milestone.

Access

The whole debt market, not one desk of it.

Relationships across the stack — senior bank debt to private credit, including our own book where speed or structure demands it.

For accountants & advisers

We execute the debt. You keep the advice.

Every structure recommendation comes to you for sign-off before lodgement. One document request, in your format. All referral arrangements disclosed — or none at all, if that suits your practice.
