Basic spheres of activity:

- acquisition finance
- structured finance
- syndicated and club finance
Project finance
is based on future cash flows from a financed project as the source of loan repayment. As a rule, the loan recipient is the project company established for this purpose (special-purpose vehicle, or SPV).
A parent company shares in the owners’ equity of the project company in a pre-agreed ratio of debt to equity. The parent company’s responsibility and guarantees for successful project implementation are defined and limited in advance.
A typical feature of project financing structures is the maximum possible diversification of risks among parties involved in the transaction.
Acquisition finance
involves financial structures enabling the acquisition of a target company by an investor who does not have sufficient funds of his or her own to fully finance the transaction.
As a rule, the loan recipient is a project company (special-purpose vehicle) having at its disposal a certain quantity of its own sources provided by the investor. The remaining portion of funds is provided by a bank loan.
The acquisition loan is repaid from the cash flow of the acquired company.
Structured finance
is based on the existing activities of a company or group of companies and on their financial flows. Structured finance uses a combination of different types of credit lines and products in order to achieve an optimal structure for financing the company, including subsidiaries within the consolidated groups.
Syndicated and club loans
are loans provided simultaneously by two or more banks as part of a single credit contract.
Companies benefit from the advantages of a single credit contract and margin, as well as unified and uncomplicated administration. Furthermore, the financial structures permit the participation of various banks with co-ordination by the agent bank and equal sharing of the security among the participating banks (club and syndicated loans and borrowings).
