Debt Advisory: Your trusted partner for customized financing

As an independent, family-owned professional services firm, we are fully committed to acting in our clients’ best interests. We deliver bespoke financing solutions with a clear focus on sustainable, long-term success.

With extensive experience in structuring complex financings and a strong network of banks, debt funds, insurers, and alternative capital providers, we guide you through the financing process in a structured and efficient manner.

Together, we assess your current situation, define funding requirements, and develop a target capital structure that is robust, flexible, and economically sound. We manage and coordinate all relevant stakeholders, including legal counsel and other advisors, ensuring your information materials are complete, consistent, and bankable.

Through a structured, competitive process, we identify the most suitable financing partners and instruments, leveraging our independent access to the full range of debt and alternative financing markets.

These include bilateral and syndicated loans, promissory notes, corporate bonds, private placements, and hybrid instruments. We advise you on selection, structuring, and negotiation, optimize financing terms, and support you through to successful closing – and beyond, if required.

The involvement of our experienced colleagues from other RÖDL service lines is optional, based on your company’s requirements.
