Debt Advisory

CreditSME provides small and medium sized business with a debt advisory service that can cover a broad range of services relating to the debt capital structure of the business. Broadly, this service includes setting and implementing a strategy to achieve the optimal capital structure and best loan terms for a business.

More specifically, the service may include running a competitive process with a number of banks for a new loan or refinancing, reviewing and negoitating terms with prospective convertible note investors or arranging a larger loan facility with a number of private lenders.

Our debt advisory service is typically for businesses seeking loans of between $2m and $100m. We offer a very competitive fee structure that can be tailored to your objectives including success based pricing.
