Financial Advisory

Debt Advisory

Our broad range of investment banking skills can be delivered on financing transactions to ensure the optimum solution for a client as a whole, rather than as a stand-alone debt instrument. As an independent advisor, we work across the resource finance to identify the best sources of debt capital.

We work as part of our client’s team to provide sound, structured advice and seek to maximise value in every aspect of a transaction; using our experience to structure and execute transactions to minimize time, costs and risks to the client while maximizing debt capacity and corporate flexibility.

We support and assist our client’s management team and their legal and technical consultants throughout the loan structuring and closing process, including managing the documentation process and completion of all conditions precedent to drawdown as specified by the finance syndicate.
