Finance Facility Review - How does your facility stack up?
A general finance facility check-up is worthwhile for any business relying on consistent bank funding, however it’s particularly important if your business is experiencing any of the following:
- Additional expansionary funding requirements
- Poor relationship with your current banker
- Increased requirements for the business to hold inventory
- Recent strong business performance with no corresponding change in banking terms
During a finance facility review our specialists will gain an understanding of your business funding requirements, the general suitability of facilities being used, the market competitiveness of your arrangements, any pain points you are feeling in your banking relationship and either identify opportunities to enhance your finance facility arrangements or affirm you are well structured.
Why perform a finance facility review?
A finance facility review may result in:
- determining the suitability of facility structures for current and future needs
- identifying areas to restructure facilities to save interest
- Providing independent assessment of rate and fee competitiveness
- Identifying areas of opportunity for private equity and investment
- Identifying business improvements that can generate new markets and efficiencies in the business cashflow
- Identifying opportunities for re-valuation to improve terms
- Facilitating discussions with your bank manager to provide owners with transparency and translation of the Banks position on credit and security risks of the client
- Obtaining clear feedback from the Bank on ‘what they’re really thinking’ and mediate an outcome to reduce current friction
- Providing timely covenant reporting
- Formulate strategies to reduce your ‘risk rating’ with the aim of reducing interest margin loading.
