Our Story

We are an independent corporate finance specialist firm, based in London and Amsterdam, with a primary focus on Debt and Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A). Our business is founded on the tenacity to challenge traditional methods and standard solutions, and the ambition to offer something distinctive and superior. Our team has extensive experience in Renewable & Flexible Energy, Economic and Social Infrastructure, and Real Estate sectors. We leverage our knowledge and agility to discover opportunities that others might miss. We continuously explore innovative ways to structure transactions, ensuring they deliver the greatest value to all parties involved. We are committed to managing every transaction from inception to financial close, providing dedicated, supportive, and resourceful services.

What We Do

In the world of finance, there is often more than one way to achieve a goal. However, many in our industry fail to maximise opportunities or deliver real value. At our firm, we work differently. We use our vast experience to find smarter ways to fund and structure deals and debt financings that work best for our clients. We go above and beyond to introduce borrowers to lenders or buyers to sellers, and we closely manage every deal we do, from start to finish. We support, advise, negotiate, and find alternative solutions to ensure that each deal closes on time and on budget.

Debt Advisory and Execution

We take a bespoke approach to debt advisory and execution. We carefully consider our clients' objectives and advise on the funding possibilities specific to their situation. With access to both banks and institutional investors, we find the optimal funding solution that fits each client's needs. Our extensive relationships with debt providers differentiate us from competitors. Our typical scope of work includes:

• Building the financial model
• Advising on appropriate financing structure, security package, and repayment profile
• Analysing the various rating methodologies and selecting a rating agency counterparty
• Coordinating the rating process if required
• Advising on target lenders, be it banks or institutional investors
• Preparation of Information Memorandum (IM) and term sheets
• Negotiation of terms with potential lenders
• Managing and coordinating borrower's and lender's advisors and due diligence process
• Obtaining credit approved terms from lenders
• Advice on implications of any existing hedging and assessment of hedging options
• Coordinating preparation of finance documents and CP's alongside legal advisers to allow closing and settlement

Amendments & Restructuring

We regularly assist with amendments and restructuring of existing debt. The need for an amendment or restructuring may be driven by M&A activity, a reorganisation, changes in accounting, or as a consequence of adverse market conditions. The process may involve buy-backs or a consent solicitation. In most cases, amendments can discreetly be agreed with one, or a few investors. In some cases, we will need to reach out to a larger group or make a formal offer.

Financial Modelling

Our financial modelling team offers a range of services, including bespoke build services for project finance and asset-backed financial modelling, sensitivity and scenario analysis, cash flow forecasts, integrated financial statements, operational forecasts, and budgeting. We also offer adaptation and management services for existing financial models for new purposes or changes.
