Funding counterparties

Funded by

We prepare each case for lender-fit execution across private credit funds, asset-based lenders, and banks active in the GCC and Asia. These counterparties assess opportunities through materially different credit, structure, and documentation standards, so preparation is calibrated to the institution actually being approached.

  • Private credit funds — mandate-led underwriting with emphasis on structure, downside protection, and execution certainty.

  • Asset-based lenders — collateral-first assessment focused on asset quality, monitoring discipline, and enforceability.

  • Banks across the GCC and Asia — policy-driven credit review prioritising covenant integrity, documentation standards, and jurisdictional compliance.

Mandate

The mandate

One engagement, one fee, payable only if you secure the facility. The scope is structured for disciplined preparation, lender fit, and execution continuity from first review to drawdown.

  1. Debt readiness review

    We test performance history, forecast robustness, covenant headroom, and information gaps so the case is credit-ready before first lender contact.

  2. Funder and counterparty verification

    We confirm active mandate fit, jurisdiction tolerance, and decision route, and verify counterparties before introductions are made.

  3. Placement

    We run a targeted lender process, coordinate management responses, and manage term progression through to executable facility documentation.

  4. Fee terms

    No retainer, no application fee, and nothing payable before drawdown. A single advisory fee is due only on a facility that closes and is funded.
