Our Services
Debt Finance
Debt remains one of the most widely used sources of capital for businesses seeking to fund growth, acquisitions, working capital, capital expenditure or refinancing requirements. The appropriate structure, however, depends on the size of the requirement, cash flow profile, repayment capacity, existing leverage and objectives of the business.
Our team evaluates your short-, medium- and long-term funding requirements and helps determine the appropriate type, amount and structure of debt. We assist with lender identification, documentation, negotiations and coordination throughout the financing process, working with banks, financial institutions and other funding providers to identify suitable solutions.
Business Loans
Business loans can provide flexible access to funding for working capital, expansion, equipment purchases, business development and other corporate requirements.
Through our network of banks, financial institutions and alternative funding providers, we help clients evaluate available financing options based on their business profile, turnover, banking history, financial performance and funding requirement. Our team supports the preparation of the application, required documentation and lender coordination, and helps compare the available structures and commercial terms.
Facilities may be available on a secured or unsecured basis depending on the strength of the business, available collateral and lender criteria.
Corporate Term Loans
Established businesses often require longer-term funding to support expansion, diversification, capital expenditure, acquisitions or refinancing of existing obligations.
We assist corporates and established SMEs in structuring medium to long term financing based on projected cash flows, repayment capacity, security availability and the intended use of funds. Facilities may be structured on fixed or variable pricing and secured against business assets, property or other acceptable collateral depending on lender requirements.
Our team supports the transaction from initial financial assessment and lender identification through documentation, negotiation and closing.
Trade Finance & Working Capital
Growing businesses often have significant capital tied up between purchasing inventory, paying suppliers and collecting receivables. The right working capital structure can help bridge these timing gaps and provide the liquidity required to keep operations and trade cycles moving efficiently.
We work with clients to understand their business model, transaction flows and working capital cycle before structuring suitable financing solutions. Depending on the requirement, these may include overdrafts, revolving facilities, short-term working capital loans, receivables or cheque discounting, import and export finance and other structured trade solutions.
Where conventional facilities may not fully address the transaction, we can also explore structured trade arrangements designed around the underlying purchase, sale and movement of goods.
LCs, Trust Receipts, Guarantees & Bonds
Trade transactions often require more than direct funding. Letters of Credit, Trust Receipts, Bank Guarantees and Performance Bonds can provide buyers, suppliers and counterparties with greater security while allowing businesses to manage cash flow more effectively.
Our team assists clients in evaluating and arranging the appropriate trade finance instruments based on the underlying transaction, contractual terms and banking requirements. We coordinate with banks and financial institutions throughout the application and documentation process.
SBLC-Backed Financing
A Standby Letter of Credit (SBLC) is a bank undertaking designed to provide payment assurance to a beneficiary if the applicant fails to meet an agreed financial or contractual obligation. It is commonly used in international trade, cross-border transactions and financing structures where additional credit support is required.
For qualifying transactions, an SBLC issued by an acceptable financial institution may also support access to financing, particularly where a parent company is supporting a subsidiary, a buyer is providing comfort to a supplier, or additional security is required by a lender.
Our team assists in reviewing the proposed structure, coordinating with the relevant banks and financing parties, and supporting the documentation and transaction process.
Retail Finance
Retail businesses often experience changing working capital needs driven by seasonality, inventory purchases, store expansion and fluctuations in customer demand. A financing structure designed around the actual trading cycle can help provide liquidity when it is needed most.
Our team works with retailers to understand their sales patterns, cash flows, inventory requirements and payment channels before identifying suitable funding options.
Our focus is on arranging financing that supports the operating cycle while preserving flexibility for growth.
Real Estate Finance & Mortgage
Whether you are acquiring residential or commercial property, refinancing an existing facility or funding a property-related project, the right financing structure can significantly affect the overall economics of the investment.
Our team works with individuals, investors and businesses to evaluate mortgage and real estate financing options across our lender network. We assist with lender selection, financial documentation, application coordination and comparison of available structures and terms.
Financing tenors and loan-to-value ratios vary depending on the property, borrower profile and lender criteria.
Lease Rental Discounting
Property owners with established rental income may be able to raise financing against future lease receivables rather than relying solely on their other business or personal cash flows.
Under a Lease Rental Discounting structure, the lender assesses the property, tenancy agreements, rental cash flows and borrower profile and may provide financing supported by the expected rental income. Repayments are generally structured around the underlying lease collections.
We assist property owners and businesses in assessing eligibility, preparing the required financial and tenancy information and coordinating suitable financing options with lenders.
Warehouse Financing
Warehouses and logistics facilities are critical assets for manufacturers, distributors, trading businesses and supply-chain operators. Financing may be available for the acquisition, refinancing, construction or expansion of warehouse facilities.
Our team assists clients in evaluating suitable financing structures based on the property, project cost, business cash flows and available security. We coordinate with lenders through the financial assessment, valuation, documentation and approval process.
Machinery & Equipment Finance
Businesses investing in machinery, plant, commercial vehicles or specialised equipment do not always need to fund those purchases entirely from internal cash resources.
We assist clients in arranging term financing for new machinery and equipment purchased locally or internationally. The financing structure is typically aligned with the value and useful life of the asset, the financial strength of the borrower and the lender’s security requirements.
Project Finance
Large projects often require financing structures built around the economics and cash-generating capacity of the project itself rather than solely around the existing balance sheet of the sponsor.
Our project finance team assists businesses in evaluating funding requirements, developing financial models and repayment structures, preparing lender information and approaching suitable financing institutions.
Depending on the project, lenders may assess factors such as projected cash flows, sponsor strength, project feasibility, contractual arrangements, security structure and repayment capacity.
Acquisition Finance
Acquisition finance helps investors and businesses fund the purchase of an operating company, business division or income-generating asset.
Our team works with clients to assess the proposed acquisition, funding requirement, target cash flows and repayment capacity before identifying suitable debt structures and financing partners. We can also coordinate acquisition finance alongside our valuation, due diligence and transaction advisory capabilities, providing clients with more integrated support throughout the transaction.
Financing structures may be available for acquisitions across sectors including hospitality, healthcare, education, trading, manufacturing and other established businesses, subject to lender criteria.
ECA-Backed Financing
Export Credit Agency (ECA)-supported financing can provide an effective funding solution for eligible cross-border transactions involving the purchase of capital goods, equipment, technology and project-related exports.
ECAs support exports from their respective countries through financing, guarantees or insurance, which can help participating lenders manage political and commercial risk and support longer-term financing structures.
Our team assists clients in evaluating whether a proposed transaction may qualify for ECA support, coordinating with relevant institutions and financing parties, and structuring the information required for the funding process.
Restructuring & Refinancing
Restructuring and refinancing are not only solutions for businesses under financial pressure. They can also help healthy businesses reduce financing costs, improve cash flow, extend repayment profiles and create additional capacity for future growth.
Where a business is facing liquidity constraints or increasing debt pressure, our team assesses the existing capital structure, working capital position, repayment obligations and available financing options. We then work with management to identify practical solutions that may include refinancing, rescheduling debt, restructuring facilities, arranging additional working capital or exploring alternative sources of finance.
Our objective is to create a more sustainable funding structure aligned with the business’s current financial position and future plans.
Your next stage of growth may begin with the right funding solution.
Financing availability, eligibility, pricing, loan-to-value ratios, security requirements and tenors are subject to the policies, credit assessment and approval of the respective bank, financial institution or funding provider.
