Structured
Finance provides you with flexible and customized
financing solutions for strategic projects.
Our global network expertise and relationship with
largest financial institutions enables us to open
doors and find the right contacts for you. We provide
individual solutions - tailored to your needs and
the requirements of the banking industry. We do this
in the following areas:
Acquisition financing
We provide support in seeking viable external financing
solutions for planned acquisitions.
You benefit from our expertise in:
- Bank
financing
- Bridge
loans - While we concentrate on the debt financing
needed for the transaction, we can put you in touch
with potential equity investors if necessary.
The following services are also offered in connection
with acquisition financing:
- Analysis
of the debt capacity of the buyer and the target
company
- Development
of a financing structure and appropriate terms commensurate
with risk
- Syndication
and assembly of a suitable group of banks
- Syndicated
Lending
Syndicated
Lending
Syndicated lending is primarily used for the following
types of transactions:
- Intermediate-term
business financing
- Acquisition
financing, including management and leveraged buyouts
- Project
financing
A
syndicated loan can be used for stable, intermediate-term
financing with a reduced refinancing risk. Large amounts
can often be placed even if the capital market does
not offer any possibilities. Negotiations and loan
servicing are settled together via one contact, while
bank relationships with various banks are coordinated
and maintained. The bank syndicate provides a good
starting point for future financing needs. The structured
conditions promote disciplined financing of the business
units. With additional business opportunities for
the syndicate banks, very attractive total costs are
possible. Even though these loans have long durations,
interest rates for short-term maturities may apply.
Management
Buy-Out
|
Batard
& Partners provides active support for management
and leveraged buyouts (MBOs/LBOs). While management
- and in certain cases other investors - take
on the risk in the form of shareholders' equity,
Structured Finance organizes the necessary borrowed
funds.

flow, with little additional investment
is necessary in subsequent years.

To facilitate strategic options such as initial
public offerings, acquisitions, mergers, etc.
Project
Finance
Batard & Partners offers tailored financing through
financial institutions, primarily for infrastructure
projects in the Information Technology, Healthcare,
Transportation, Energy, Manufacturing and Telecom
sectors. Project financing is suitable for larger
investment projects in the public and private sector
and above which provide long-term financing based
on future cash flows. In Project Finance, Batard &
Partners acts as financial advisor or as agent of
syndicated project loans.
Advisory
For companies that are looking for tailored, complex
financing solutions, such as structured, cross-border
leasing, Batard & Partners can provide an experienced,
interdisciplinary team for advising corporate organizations.
We work closely with specialists within International
banks and with a team of external advisors (tax, law,
accounting firms). This enables us to advise you even
on the most complex issues. Our extensive contacts
with private investors help us place the lease transactions
with local or international investors.
