Zanders

C. Steinweg Group, a global leader in the commodity trade industry, partnered with us for a complex refinancing project of two debt facilities. The aim? To provide their business with the robust and flexible access to capital which they needed to continue to scale and grow their international operations. To deliver a more scalable and flexible access to credit, we modelled a facility that allowed multiple banks to provide funding for commodity financing under the same loan. This enabled Steinweg to pursue its global growth with efficiency and financial resilience. ➡️ Read more about our approach and this case study here: https://lnkd.in/ewHPwsdf #Corporate #Finance #DebtAdvisory
