Structured debt advisory for companies raising capital.
FG Capital Advisors advises companies raising structured debt. We help borrowers, sponsors, acquirers, developers, asset owners and operating companies prepare lender-ready debt mandates and place those mandates with banks, private credit funds, DFIs, infrastructure lenders, asset-based lenders and other institutional capital providers.
Our role is to turn the debt requirement into a financeable structure. We advise on debt sizing, collateral, repayment source, cash waterfall, covenants, security, tenor, pricing expectations, lender fit, credit package preparation, term sheet review and closing coordination.
Structured debt needs a financeable story
Companies raise structured debt when a standard loan does not fit the transaction. The debt may be secured by receivables, inventory, contracts, equipment, real estate, project cash flows, offtake, acquisition assets, infrastructure concessions or a defined pool of collateral.
The lender needs to understand how the money is used, how repayment happens, what collateral protects the facility, how risk is controlled and why the borrower can execute. FG Capital Advisors helps companies shape those elements into a structured debt mandate lenders can review.
We support debt raises for growth, acquisitions, refinancing, working capital, project finance, trade finance, commodity finance, commercial real estate, infrastructure, energy, mining, logistics and asset-backed transactions.
The credit question
Can the company support a structured debt facility with clear repayment logic, acceptable collateral, realistic covenants and a lender-ready execution plan?
- Debt sizing and repayment source
- Collateral and security package
- Borrower and sponsor profile
- Financial model and downside case
- Capital provider fit
- Term sheet and closing path
