We assess your business's specific financial requirements, cash flow patterns, and growth plans. Based on this detailed analysis, we recommend the most appropriate loan product, whether it’s a Term Loan for expansion or a Cash Credit facility for managing working capital. Our goal is to match you with a financial solution that optimally supports your business objectives while ensuring manageable repayment terms.
You should evaluate your ability to provide collateral, the impact on your cash flow, the cost of financing, and the potential risks associated with both options. Secured loans often offer lower interest rates but require assets as collateral, which may tie up valuable resources. Unsecured loans, while typically easier to obtain, come with higher interest rates and could impact your cash flow, so it's crucial to weigh these factors carefully.
Maintaining a strong credit score, presenting a comprehensive business plan, demonstrating consistent cash flow, and providing adequate collateral can enhance your negotiating power and help you secure better loan terms. Additionally, building a positive relationship with your lender and showcasing a track record of financial responsibility can further improve your chances of obtaining favourable terms.
Risks include interest rate fluctuations, changes in repayment capacity, and covenant breaches. Mitigation strategies involve opting for fixed-rate loans to avoid interest rate risks, maintaining healthy financial reserves to manage cash flow variations, and ensuring that loan covenants are flexible and manageable within your business operations. Regular financial monitoring and proactive communication with your lender are also crucial in managing these risks.
We leverage our extensive network and industry experience to negotiate interest rates, repayment schedules, fees, and other terms on your behalf, ensuring they align with your business’s financial situation and goals. Our objective is to secure terms that not only meet your current needs but also provide flexibility for future growth, allowing your business to thrive under favourable financial conditions.
Common documents include financial statements, tax returns, business licenses, and collateral documentation. We guide you through the preparation process, ensuring all documents are complete, accurate, and compliant with lender requirements.

This ongoing partnership helps maintain a positive relationship with your lender, which can be beneficial for future financing needs or renegotiating terms if necessary.
We analyse your business’s historical financial performance, cash flow projections, and profitability forecasts to determine your ability to service the debt. This assessment helps us match you with the most appropriate loan product and terms. We also consider potential future financial scenarios to ensure that the loan terms remain sustainable over time, even if market conditions change.
Loan covenants can impose restrictions on your business activities, such as limitations on additional borrowing or dividend payments. We help you understand these covenants and negotiate terms that minimize their impact on your operations. Understanding the long-term implications of these covenants is crucial, as they can affect your business’s strategic decisions and overall financial flexibility.
The choice of lender impacts interest rates, fees, loan conditions, and the availability of additional credit. We help you select a lender with a track record of supporting businesses like yours, ensuring that the financing aligns with your growth objectives. A well-chosen lender not only reduces the overall cost of financing but also becomes a long-term partner in your business’s success, offering additional support as your business evolves.

The loan disbursement schedule is meticulously aligned with your project milestones to ensure funds are available exactly when needed. This approach prevents delays due to cash flow shortages, allowing the project to proceed smoothly and on time. We also monitor disbursements against milestones to ensure compliance with the lender's requirements.
The loan quantum is determined by a comprehensive assessment of the total project costs, including construction, equipment, soft costs, and contingencies. This ensures that the project is adequately funded from the start, reducing the risk of underfunding and the need for additional borrowing later. Additionally, sensitivity analysis is performed to evaluate different scenarios and ensure robust funding.
The repayment schedule is carefully structured to align with the project's expected cash flows, considering factors like moratorium periods and balloon payments. This helps ensure that repayment obligations are manageable, preventing financial strain during the repayment period. We also incorporate cash flow forecasting models to predict future revenue and adjust the repayment structure accordingly.
The Commercial Operations Date (COD) is critical as it marks when the project begins generating revenue. Ensuring that the project reaches COD on time is vital for activating loan repayment schedules and maintaining the financial health of the project. The COD also serves as a trigger for performance monitoring by lenders, ensuring that the project is on track.

These projections are then rigorously vetted to ensure they reflect achievable outcomes, instilling confidence in lenders regarding the project’s success.

Risk management strategies include identifying potential execution, marketing, and financial risks early in the process and developing mitigation plans.

This prevents financial shortfalls during the project and ensures that operations can continue smoothly from start to finish. We also ensure that the working capital cycle aligns with project timelines to avoid liquidity issues.
