CORPORATES

​

• Corporate finance advisory (Capital Solutions), specifically aimed at finding new resources and based on the analysis of the existing capital structure.

• The type of financing can vary from senior debt (including short term credit lines, secured or unsecured, e.g. factoring, trade finance, etc.) to equity capital, including various kinds of mezzanine/junior debt, often in a combination of more than one instrument or in the shape of hybrid capital (e.g. unitranche).

• Turnaround situations: companies with temporary financial difficulties can benefit from the intervention of alternative institutional investors, who can provide the financing needed to turn the business around, often “buying out” existing lenders who are not in a position to extend further credit to their clients (“rescue finance”).

​

BANKS

 

• Analysis and valuation of distressed assets (both single names and portfolios) and NPLs,  in view of a sale.

• Sale process management/advisory, with or without a formal auction, on behalf of the portfolio/asset manager.

 

​

funds/investors

​

• Sourcing of direct lending and distressed investment opportunities, either directly with corporate borrowers or in cooperation with local banks,  on behalf of institutional investors (credit/hedge funds, long-only asset managers, insurance companies, etc.) interested in allocating resources to the Southern Europe market (particularly Italy and Spain).
