Debt Advisory

Through our combined 60 years experience we have developed a deep understanding of how banks and non banks view the debt capacity of a business.

We have deployed our Debt Advisory experience to benefit a number of our clients, advising and working with their accountants and lawyers to model the optimal debt profile for acquisition funding, which includes:

Building out the business case for earnings normalisations acceptable to lenders,
Stress testing forecasts,
Covenant testing,

Amortisation settings,
Due diligence advisory, and
Detailed negotiation of loan documentation and security documentation.

We have also provided Debt Advisory services for restructuring the debt profile and covenant regime for distressed businesses, which includes leading the negotiations with their banks over extended engagements to allow management to focus on the business.

The services offered and the expertise and professionalism with which they were delivered was excellent and the results were well above our initial expectations. Jonathan and his organisation approached our brief with honesty, transparency and vigour and satisfied our financing needs in a timely manner. We continue to use their services and do not expect that this will change anytime in the future."
