Discretion and independence make us a sought-after partner

Metzler Corporate Finance is in permanent dialogue with all major banks and special finance institutions as well as with investment companies and institutional investors from the fields of private equity, mezzanine and debt. This proximity to the capital market is what qualifies us as a strong partner able to generate considerable value added for our clients by achieving the best possible conditions and the most advantageous funding mixture.

Our clients profit from our extensive expertise in credit management and risk management at banks (for example RAROC, economic capital, asset coverage, credit documentation). We are also familiar with what makes investment companies and investment funds tick – and thus have the decisive expertise to offer our clients specialist advice.

Our neutrality strengthens your position

Absolutely neutral without own lending business and with an excellent reputation, our voice carries weight in financial circles. Banks and financing partners value us as a competent partner in negotiations, thus heightening our chances of realizing the transaction structure that best suits your needs.

Product-neutral financing advice: Your requirements are our commands

In close collaboration with you we analyze your balance sheet liabilities, devise a concept for a capital structure and help you to realize it – whether in the context of a refinancing strategy, in the run up to an acquisition or prior to a restructuring. As we do not offer any credit products of our own, the advice that we offer is product-neutral and our finance strategy can be perfectly adjusted to your requirements: We analyze your financial data, process the figures to be evaluated for a transaction, make recommendations on the forms and instruments of finance and support you in the credit documentation, in selecting the financing partners and in contract negotiations. Use our experience to your advantage for:

• Arranging cash-flow oriented finance for large-scale investments or acquisitions (recourse or non-recourse)
• Reshuffling the circle of banks/arranging syndicate solutions and rolling over existing bank finance
• Coping with crisis situations, for example breaches of covenant, repayment defaults
• Reorganizing the shareholder circle and raising investment capital
• Recommending, analyzing and selecting potential investment and equity partners
• Tapping new sources of finance and funding instruments
• Developing a debt story and placement strategy and accompanying you at bank discussions
• Acting as a sounding board for capital market instruments ("Schuldschein" loans, corporate bonds)
