A company may want or need new or additional means of finance for various reasons; for example to create financial space in order to realise growth, to consolidate existing debts, to reduce interest costs, to reinforce equity, to finance an acquisition or a management buy-out or to finance other investments. Whatever the reason, the most important thing is that financing needs to be tailored to your strategy. By using our practical expertise and objective advice throughout the preliminary stage, together we will be able to facilitate the search for adequate means to finance your company, which is the basis for the long term strategy of your company.

Our department is able to draw from various financial sources through the numerous contacts we have established over the years.

Within these categories however, an extensive range of financial instruments exist, varying from instantly accessible current account credits to permanent equity capital, with a large amount of intermediate forms, each form serving a specific purpose.

The main object for raising finance is to raise exactly that form of financing that matches with the current and future needs of the enterprise, under the most favourable conditions. In order to identify this need, a thorough financial analysis is carried out. Eventually, through close co-operation with you, negotiations with financiers and evaluation of the offers received, the result will be the specific form of financing that best matches the needs of your company.
