Growth Through Corporate Finance Solutions

Financing and Investments

Diverse investment criteria and different industry preferences can make it difficult fully grasp the available financing universe for a company. This often leads to clients receiving heterogeneous financing offers and structural proposals that are complex to compare and lack transparency. This is where our personal advice comes in: We create clarity in the investor and capital provider market, identify the right financing solution and structure it specifically according to our clients' strategic corporate goals and requirements.

FAQs

How is commercial real estate finance prepared and implemented?

Commercial real estate finance is based on a thorough examination of the real estate to be financed and the investor's specific objectives. When structuring commercial real estate finance, we work with the client (sponsor) to ensure that the financing structure meets the investor's return potential and investment objectives, as well as the overall strategy for the real estate portfolio.

When it comes to financing solutions for larger commercial or residential real estate projects, several factors are crucial, including location, current market trends, analysis of potential commercial tenants and the expected income from the real estate project. As part of the viability check for a financing, we also check the specific return calculation.

We provide comprehensive advice on structuring and raising capital for the financing of large-scale project development in the commercial and residential new-build sectors, supporting our customers throughout the construction phase until the project is completed.

When structuring project financing, we first review the project calculation of the building projects to determine the overall financial scope. In addition to the project developer's own funds, we also examine warrants for equity substitutes, such as mezzanine financing, as well as the involvement of banks and alternative capital providers for the project's financing structure. We support the project throughout the construction phase and are also available to assist our clients with any necessary adjustments, refinancing requirements or negotiations with the parties if there are delays in construction progress, costs or the project financing schedule.

Private debt and mezzanine financing as an alternative form of corporate finance includes secured, subordinated and unsecured loans. Mezzanine financing, which is a mix of debt and equity, can be tailored to a company's individual objectives. Alternative providers of private debt and mezzanine financing can close existing financing gaps, take over entire financing tranches or address the takeover of partial tranches in more complex financing structures.

Private debt and mezzanine financing are offers from alternative capital providers that are used in corporate finance to enable real estate developers or companies to realize attractive growth opportunities without having to give up a large amount of control or company shares. Private debt and mezzanine financing can provide companies with quick access to capital, often with more flexible conditions that are also more flexibly aligned with the company's plans in terms of processes.

Corporate finance includes corporate loans for organic growth, expansion projects or internal restructuring. Acquisition financing is used for inorganic growth such as corporate acquisitions. The capital provided generally enables companies to invest more quickly in projects such as new product development, new market penetration and promising projects than if such projects were implemented using only equity or reserves. Through effective management of the assets and liabilities side of the balance sheet, as well as a healthy financing mix of equity and debt, a company can increase and strengthen its own profitability and competitive position.

For corporate acquisitions, finbird offers advice on structured acquisition financing solutions. For growth projects, we provide support in structuring corporate loans or working capital lines. Our services include a specific analysis of the financing needs, the optimal presentation of the financial and earnings position of the company, the structuring of financing solutions, as well as the approach and negotiation of credit terms with lenders, in order to implement a transaction smoothly and successfully. Through our network of investors, banks and alternative lenders, our clients benefit from attractive and competitive loan terms and support throughout the entire corporate finance process.

Private equity investors provide capital to implement growth plans and in return receive shares in the company to which financing is provided. In addition to providing pure capital, private equity investors can also provide companies with extensive know-how, strategic support, access to a relevant industry network and specialized process knowledge. This can accelerate growth plans, improve management's operational capabilities and open up new markets.

We support our clients in preparing for an equity transaction by improving the company's financial and earnings position to a professional level, preparing the approach to potential investors and bringing together companies that need capital and investors that have capital available for investment.  

The corporate finance landscape is becoming increasingly complex due to the large number of different investors, lenders and creditors, each with their own financing and investment criteria. Corporate family offices can access professional support in the area of financing advice in order to free up internal resources for their core competencies in the areas of wealth management, asset allocation and general investment strategy.

finbird provides family offices with comprehensive advice on optimal financing structures. This includes the structuring of refinancing options, access to a network of alternative lenders with suitable investment criteria, and the optimization of existing financing strategies for the existing investment portfolio. We ensure that the financing structures are aligned with investment objectives and long-term strategies for the preservation of family capital.
