Across the credit spectrum

Three practices, separated by what the transaction requires rather than by how strong the borrower is.

A performing company may require either conventional corporate credit or a structured-credit solution. The distinction is determined by the cash-flow profile, security, repayment path and transaction objective — not simply the borrower’s credit standing.

  1. Corporate & Performing Credit

    Conventional term debt, working capital, capex financing, refinancing, rating-linked facilities and institutional debt for established companies with predictable operating cash flows and clean credit conduct.

    • Term loans
    • Working capital
    • Conventional capex and project debt
    • Refinancing and debt consolidation
    • Rating-linked financing
    • Conventional NCD and institutional debt placement
  2. Structured Credit

    Bespoke debt and hybrid capital for performing companies where the requirement is linked to an acquisition, expansion, asset monetisation, IPO, equity raise or another defined event — and standard amortisation, security or return structures do not fit the timing of cash flows.

    • Acquisition and takeover financing
    • Growth capital ahead of cash-flow generation
    • Bridge to IPO or equity raise
    • Asset-monetisation bridge
    • Promoter and HoldCo financing
    • Hybrid and mezzanine capital
  3. Special Situations

    Capital and advisory where default, stress, creditor resolution, restructuring, OTS or an impaired capital structure is central to the transaction.

    • One-time settlements and post-settlement financing
    • Corporate debt restructuring
    • Stressed exposure take-outs
    • Rescue capital
    • Last-mile and completion capital

Not every financing requirement fits a product.

Some require a structure.

Ascent Pinnacle works at the intersection of capital, complexity and execution.

Every mandate runs the same sequence, whether it is a working capital renewal or a contested special situation.
