At a glance

How can syndicated loans be structured and used?
  • The size and intended use of each loan can be tailored to the needs of the borrower.
  • Syndicated loans can be used for a wide range of cases, from corporate finance and sustainable corporate finance to promissory note loans and acquisition finance, post-IPO finance, bridge facilities, and debut financings.

Your benefits

Syndicated loans allow companies to secure financing for amounts larger than a single bank would be able to take on, due to risk considerations.

While numerous banks act as lenders, a lead manager acts as your single point of contact.

Syndicated loans can always be structured to the needs, circumstances and the business model of the borrower.

Revolving facility

A revolving credit facility allows borrowers to draw against the loan multiple times – up to the agreed limit – during the term of the loan.

Guarantee facility

Guarantee facilities cover the borrower's collateralisation needs.

Term Loan B

The Term Loan B (TLB) is provided by institutional capital markets investors and typically has a maturity of seven years.

Bridge loan

Bridge loans are short-term loans used to provide pre-funding or interim financing for specific transactions until the final follow-up financing becomes available.

Acquisition financing

Given the large deal size that is usually involved when companies are bought, it makes sense to have various banks on board to structure a syndicate loan.

Promissory note loans

Syndicated loans have been tried and tested in the context of large short-, medium- or long-term promissory note loans.
