DebtAdvisory

Client Services- Strategic Advisory Solutions

Our debt advisory services focus on helping businesses, ranging from healthcare services to medtech and biopharma, optimize capital structure and secure financing options. We help clients restructure existing debt or acquire new financing while minimizing costs and risk.  

Our Process Debt Advisory

Based on in-depth client engagement, we customize our approach to your organization’s individual requirements. 

A typical transaction process includes these steps: 

Step 1

Initial Assessment and Strategy Development

The process begins with an evaluation of the Client’s financial situation, existing debt structure, and borrowing needs. We define the objectives, such as lowering costs, improving terms, or increasing flexibility, and develop a tailored debt strategy. 

We prepare comprehensive financial analyses and reports to present the Client’s creditworthiness and operational strengths. This may include financial projections, debt service coverage ratios, and other key metrics to support the case for financing. 

Step 2

Data Gathering and Analysis of Financial and Operational Data

Step 3

Identification of Lenders

We leverage our extensive network to identify potential lenders, including banks, alternative lenders, private debt funds, and institutional investors. The list is customized to match the Client’s needs and the type of financing sought. 

Detailed materials, including a lender presentation and a summary term sheet, are created to provide a clear overview of the financing opportunity. These documents highlight the Client’s financial position, and the proposed terms of the debt raise. 

Step 4

Creation of Marketing Materials

Step 5

Outreach to Lenders

We initiate contact with targeted lenders, providing them with high-level details of the opportunity. NDAs are secured before sharing more comprehensive information. 

Lenders are engaged to discuss their initial proposals. We facilitate meetings, calls, and follow-up discussions to address lender queries and clarify terms. Proposals are evaluated based on cost, structure, and strategic fit. 

Step 6

Lender Engagement and Proposal Evaluation

Step 7

Selection of Lender(s) and Negotiation of Terms

The Client selects the lender or consortium of lenders offering the best overall package. We provide guidance to ensure alignment with the Client’s objectives. 

We negotiate with lenders to secure the most favorable terms, including interest rates, covenants, amortization schedules, and fees. Our goal is to optimize the financing package for the Client. 

Lenders conduct due diligence to validate the Client’s financial and operational data. We coordinate the provision of necessary documentation and address lender concerns. 

Step 8

Lender Due Diligence

Step 9

Documentation and Closing

Legal agreements are drafted and finalized to formalize the financing arrangement. Once all conditions are satisfied, the transaction is closed, and funds are made available to the Client. Post-closing support is provided as needed.
