LEASING

Leasing is a common way to finance industrial equipment, because there is a large market and a popular knowledge of the features and advantages of this product.

One of the advantages of Leasing is the fact that the Entities working in this business are specialists in medium / long term financing and whose activity and object are the financing of industrial equipment.

The value of the financed asset itself is a key element in the Leasing: when we configure a deal to be discussed with Financial Entities we intend to emphasize this point to minimize down payments and to put clear the collateral coverage given by the own asset financed.

We also collaborate with manufacturers and/or sellers of equipment goods in order to facilitate the regular (vendor programmes) or specific financing of their sales, either national or international.

  LONG TERM LOANS

Long Term Loans are a way to finance fixed assets that is especially useful when these assets are not separate or mobile productive units.

Loans for fixed assets may have special features that can include initial grace periods and terms long enough as to fit the investment payback.

If the deal requires it, we can arrange loan structures (with partial financing, asset mortgage…) to make the conclusion of the deal possible.

  STRUCTURED FINANCE

Complex investments (whole plants, main parts, projects…) require from structured finance techniques that skillfully combine and integrate all the elements: industrial, economical, financial and legal.

We have a huge expertise in structured finance of equipment and plants in deals of amounts since 6 million euro (and higher) and terms longer than 10 years.

Our deep knowledge of the corporate finance permits us to face project financings drawing the most efficient structures in Equity and Debt (which we look for) and of the terms and conditions (period, coverages, guarantees…).

   OPERATING LEASE

Operating Lease is much more than a formula used for automobiles or IT, including maintenance and /or replacement.

With the commitment of the manufacturer and/or other techniques of risk assessment and allocation, we can design Operating Lease structures (normally always including a purchase option “non-symbolic”) that:

• From the financial point of view:
  > Reduce the cash requirements to make the investment repayment.
  > Extend (indirectly) the financing period (that leaves delayed the payment of the residual value –that could be refinanced when time comes-).
• According to the local and the international Accounting standards, these schemes may qualify as off-balance-sheet.
