Although our relationship is still new, we are excited about the future and look forward to many years of collaboration. #CommunityBank

Hybrid financing presents several compelling advantages for capital raising. It not only expands access to capital but also offers flexibility in structuring financing to meet specific needs and circumstances. This flexibility can manifest in various ways, such as adjusting the proportion of loans to bonds, balancing bank and non-bank financing, negotiating repayment terms, setting multiple tenors, or tailoring documentation to fit unique requirements.
