Our Debt Advisory Team provides independent advice to corporate clients on all debt capital markets products locally and globally. The team provides trusted expert advice for clients through sourcing, negotiating and structuring new or existing debt. We also work lender- and creditor-side in reviewing leveraged positions and developing credible debt restructures to sustain a business into the future.  

Debt Advisory is event driven. Having said that, borrowers tend to be passive in managing their debt and working capital and yet it is potentially one of their biggest costs. Our unrivalled experience will deliver a well-informed, cost effective process and an ability to negotiate with authority to maximise stakeholder value.  

Borrowers should be reviewing the funding structures at least annually and seeking best value. Other situations such as acquisitions require greater complexity and structuring and that is where we can add real value in terms of maximising the terms from the market and accessing multiple sources of capital to achieve best outcomes for our clients.

Indeed, in challenging times a business may need to review and revisit the effectiveness of its capital structure, which may necessitate developing and negotiating debt restructuring options to right-size the balance sheet and set the business on the right path.
