Banking & capital

Make the funding case before taking it to the lender.

We help manufacturing businesses quantify working-capital need, expansion cash flows, debt-service capacity and the financial story a lender will test.

Funding strategy

Growth can be profitable and still run out of cash.

A new program or plant may require capex today, inventory before dispatch and customer credit after sale. The funding plan must cover the complete ramp-up—not only the equipment invoice.

We connect operating assumptions with balance-sheet ratios, drawing power, cash accruals, repayment schedules and promoter contribution before the proposal is circulated.

A lender-ready case should answer

  • Why the funds are needed and when
  • How sales and margins will ramp up
  • What working capital the growth will absorb
  • How much promoter contribution is available
  • Whether cash generation covers debt service
  • What can go wrong and how the business responds
Services

From requirement assessment to lender discussion.

The mandate may cover a fresh proposal, enhancement, takeover, refinancing, project loan or analysis of an existing borrowing structure.

What lenders test

Numbers are necessary. Credibility comes from the bridge between them.

A proposal becomes persuasive when historic performance, projections and business reality tell the same story.

Cash generation

EBITDA quality, working-capital absorption, free cash flow and debt-service headroom.

Promoter commitment

Capital already invested, proposed contribution, withdrawals and support during ramp-up.

Execution risk

Customer approvals, tooling, capacity, implementation milestones, supply chain and contingency.

Financial discipline

Audit quality, tax compliance, account conduct, covenant history and timely information.

Working method

Resolve weak assumptions before the credit team finds them.

01 / ASSESS

Define the requirement

Map the operating cycle, project plan, present facilities, security and promoter objectives.

02 / MODEL

Build the funding case

Prepare integrated projections, facility schedules, ratios and stress cases from supported assumptions.

03 / PRESENT

Package the information

Create a concise lender memorandum and reconcile every major number to source data.

04 / NEGOTIATE

Support execution

Address queries, compare terms and track sanction conditions while management retains final decisions.

Common questions

Clear mandate, clear commercial terms.

Do you arrange the loan?

We prepare and represent the financial case and may interact with lenders chosen by the client. Sanction remains entirely at the lender’s discretion.

Can you assess whether the proposed limit is enough?

Yes. We can model the operating cycle and ramp-up to identify underfunding, excess assumptions or a mismatch between facility type and cash need.

Do you work only on success fee?

Commercial terms depend on scope, lender involvement and the work required. They are agreed in writing before a mandate is accepted.

Funding discussion

Bring the current sanction, proposed project and latest financials.

We can identify whether the first requirement is a funding model, proposal review, bank presentation or a wider finance mandate.

No finance advisory engagement can assure sanction, pricing or disbursement. Lenders make independent credit decisions and may require legal, technical, collateral or other professional reports.
