Your challenges
Financing a new acquisition or refinancing your organisation's debt in response to market conditions like favourable interest rates can go a long way towards strengthening your financial position. Whatever your ambition, you need to optimise the debt package to obtain the best possible conditions. To get the most favourable interest rate, for example, it’s essential to be well-positioned to effectively negotiate with the banks while making sure the terms of the agreement fall under acceptable market practice. If you’re building a new package you’ll also need a legal agreement, and the current agreement must be amended if you’re refinancing.
The debt package has to be optimised from a tax perspective as well: you need to take withholding tax into consideration and structure the package so it’s tax neutral. In case of financial distress, additional factors will play a role when determining the tax impact of the actions to take.
How do you optimise your corporate (re)financing in the most efficient and economically viable way?
