Debt refinancing
Optimize your balance sheet by replacing existing debt
OVERVIEW
Overview
Debt Refinancing
Refinancing can relieve the financial burden on a company’s debt capital structure by redirecting cashflow to other business needs. For example, a refinancing using our long-term senior debt may be a good match for businesses seeking to extend or layer out their refinancing obligations beyond the typical bank tenor. A refinancing using mezzanine debt, for instance, can add flexibility to a company’s debt capital structure, better preparing you to seize opportunities like acquisitions and shareholder buyouts.
Although completing a refinancing is a fairly common process, we’re here to help you select the capital solution that is ideal for your needs.
