Syndicated loans, Your benefits
Larger deal size
Syndicated loans allow companies to secure financing for amounts larger than a single bank would be able to take on, due to risk considerations.
Single point of contact
While numerous banks act as lenders, a lead manager acts as your single point of contact.
Resilience
Syndicated loans can always be structured to the needs, circumstances and the business model of the borrower.
Types of syndicated loans, An all-rounder for large deal sizes
Revolving facility
A revolving credit facility allows borrowers to draw against the loan multiple times – up to the agreed limit – during the term of the loan.
Guarantee facility
Guarantee facilities cover the borrower's collateralisation needs.
Term Loan B
The Term Loan B (TLB) is provided by institutional capital markets investors and typically has a maturity of seven years.
Bridge loan
Bridge loans are short-term loans used to provide pre-funding or interim financing for specific transactions until the final follow-up financing becomes available.
Acquisition financing
Given the large deal size that is usually involved when companies are bought, it makes sense to have various banks on board to structure a syndicate loan.
Promissory note loans
Syndicated loans have been tried and tested in the context of large short-, medium- or long-term promissory note loans.
