Our Services

Leveraged Finance

Leveraged finance is a financing arrangement that focuses on the value and future cash flows of an asset. Our leveraged finance team comprises experienced, multinational professionals located in London, Dubai and Istanbul.

Our expertise in providing alternative solutions and navigating complex financial issues helps deliver the best possible outcomes for our clients.

Leveraged Buy–Out

LBO allows financial sponsors to take advantage of the global debt markets to raise funds to purchase a target company or part of its business with limited capital. The future cash flow of the acquired assets can be used to secure the debt. It may use a mixture of multiple ranked debt including senior debt, mezzanine debt and junior debt.

LBO can be applied to other types of financing such as a management buy–out (MBO) and can occur in growth situations, restructuring situations and insolvencies. We are one of the leading companies in this market in terms of transaction volumes.

Management Buy–Out

MBO allows the management team of a company to acquire all or part of the shares in the company through a new company established for that purpose.

Project Finance

Project finance is a form of syndicated finance designed for long–term infrastructure and industrial projects sometimes involving governments. We play a significant part in funding projects in various industrial sectors, catalyzing public and private partnerships and reducing project risk using a mix of government credits, insurance and private lending. Our minimum amount for project finance is generally $20M and it is worth noting there are no upper limits, this is depending on the ROI and company's ability to meet its debt obligations.

Export Credit Agency Finance

An Export Credit Agency (ECA) is an institution that serves as an intermediary between governments and exporters, providing credit insurance or financial guarantees, or both, as part of a financing.

We have credentials and longstanding relationships with many of the major ECAs and with select Multilateral Finance Institutions (MFIs), which also operate to provide risk mitigation. We can provide our expertise to clients when structuring innovative financing solutions. Working alongside exporters and ECAs or MFIs, we can structure financings that mitigate exposure to so–called political risks, thereby facilitating exports to a potentially greater range of countries.

Our global footprint brings together a team of highly experienced professionals who work seamlessly to deliver cutting–edge solutions to clients worldwide. We have a proven track record providing ECA finance for our clients including buyer credits, overseas investment loans, untied loans, natural resource and energy loans.

Structured Trade Finance & Factoring

Structured trade finance is a specialized short–term or medium–/long–term (up to 5 years) financing against commodity trade flows. It typically takes the form of pre–payment financing or pre–export financing, structured around the supply chain and commercial terms of customers, and may use export contracts, trade receivables and collection accounts as collateral.

With dedicated offices in London, Dubai and Istanbul, we have demonstrated our expertise in providing structured trade finance solutions for our clients around the world.

Real Estate Finance

Real estate finance can be used by property owners to optimize their balance sheets, as well as by REITs and other real estate businesses to acquire properties efficiently.

Real estate securitization refers to the process whereby income generated from real estate properties, and the value of the properties themselves, are used as collateral to secure a loan that is then used by a special purpose company (SPC) to purchase the properties.

We design financing proposals to meet the our clients' specific needs based on the analysis of such factors as the property type, location, purchase price, occupancy rate, and related income versus expenditures.

Securitization

Securitization is a way of raising funds by selling receivables, which are then turned into asset–backed loan and securities. This method of financing brings various benefits such as diversification of funding sources and improvement of cash flow.

Ship & Aircraft Finance

Ship & Aircraft financing is an arrangement that uses vessel or aircraft  charter fees as the principal source of repayment, while various forms of collateral structured around shipbuilding and charter agreements are assigned to mitigate credit risk. We leverage our wealth of experience and proven track record in this area to help clients obtain long–term funding to purchase vessels and aircrafts, both new and used.
