Senior Expert Loan AgencySyndicated loans for large and complex financing
A syndicated loan is a special form of corporate financing in which several banks join forces to jointly grant a loan to a borrower. Unlike a traditional bank loan, a syndicated loan is granted by a group of banks – known as a syndicate. One bank acts as the lead arranger and serves as the central point of contact for the borrower. It coordinates communication, organises the disbursement and manages the repayment of the loan.
Who is a syndicated loan suitable for?
Syndicated loans are a powerful tool for companies. This structure makes it possible to finance even very large investments or complex projects, such as company acquisitions, mergers, infrastructure projects or transformations.
Options for structuring syndicated loans
Our goal is to develop the best possible solutions for you. Syndicated loans are extremely flexible and can be tailored to the individual needs of the company.
The terms are variable – three to five years is common, often with extension options. The currency, disbursement terms and repayment structure can also be agreed flexibly. The contract is drawn up in a comprehensive syndicated agreement that applies to all participating banks and offers a high degree of security.
A single point of contact and standardised documentation ensure transparency and clarity, as well as reducing the complexity of your processes and procedures.
3 reasons for syndicated loans
A syndicated loan offers numerous advantages – especially for companies with high financing requirements or increased business risk:
- Large sums Even projects in the double-digit million range are feasible.
- Planning security Long-term financing without annual renegotiations.
- Flexibility Adaptation to new market conditions or corporate strategies is possible.
