Services
Debt Advisory
We arrange and advise on credit on behalf of corporate clients and sponsor-backed businesses, sourcing and structuring optimal financing from across the lending market.
Our independence means we are never tied to a preferred lender; every counterparty is evaluated against the same brief. We have arranged more than €340m of debt across LBO financings, project finance, capex and working capital facilities.
Debt advisory services are crucial for businesses seeking to manage leverage effectively, reduce financial risks, and secure favourable borrowing conditions. Advisors work closely with clients to align debt solutions with their financial goals and market conditions.
