KEY ISSUES TO CONSIDER WHEN changing financing structure
Achieving the right debt/equity ratio and attracting debt on attractive terms have become complex matters that require addressing, among others, the following key issues:
- Are the business plan, financial model and proposed financing structure well documented?
- Do you have an overview of your debt capacity, including in relation to the expected future development of the company?
- Do you know of alternative debt instruments and the market prices of such alternatives?
- What is your company’s debt capacity and what options do you have to repay debt?
- What security can you/are you willing to give the banks, and what are the main risks and your plan to mitigate these risks?
- What is your “Plan B” if things do not go as expected?
- How will you prioritise in an exit scenario?
