Debt Finance
Structuring Capital for Flexibility and Control
Debt financing drives growth, liquidity and stability, but its real complexity lies in the details of compliance, covenants and control. In middle-market transactions, where negotiated terms define leverage and freedom of operation, precision in financial covenant design and interpretation can determine a deal’s success.
