What you can expect
The refinancing process
We first take a fresh look at the existing structure. Does it still fit the company as it stands today, and is there room to take money off the table? Next, we set out the organization and financial expectations in a financing memorandum and approach multiple financiers. We also make it known to the current financier that we are conducting a broader process. This commercial pressure works: as a result, even an existing relationship puts renewed effort into the case.
We reduce the proposals received to their essence and go through them with you section by section, so that you know the key terms of each financier and what the financing costs on an annual basis. In the negotiation, attention goes mainly to those terms: headroom in the covenants, the repayment structure and the flexibility to continue doing business.
Why Maasdael?
Maasdael has its origins in financing. Our founding partners have held management positions at banks, and we have guided many businesses in raising and extending financing. As a result, we know which financiers are active, where their appetite lies, and what is currently in line with the market. A partner is involved in every engagement.
Our approach is personal and no-nonsense: we manage the process so that it takes up little of your time, and we keep the conversation focused on the aspects that will still matter five years from now.
