Lender Introduction Service & Term Sheet Auction Management

Lender Introductions and Term Sheet Auction — Executable Offers with a Clear Path to Close

Lender Introductions and Term Sheet Auction

Good companies lose time and credibility when they collect non-binding interest emails, negotiate in circles, and learn late that the ask is not bankable at the requested size. Credit teams need a complete, defensible file and a clean process. You need signed options and a plan to close. This service replaces scattered outreach with a controlled introduction and a competitive term sheet auction that produces executable offers and a timeline everyone can meet.

What you receive: 2–4 signed term sheets. A comparable terms matrix. A written Q&A log. A week-by-week closing plan with conditions and dates. US access is available under a 15a-6 chaperone with a US registered broker-dealer. Bankability and rate acceptance decide selection.
Executable Offers
Signed term sheets, not soft indications
Comparable Terms
Pricing, covenants, fees, collateral on one page
Closing Plan
Conditions and dates tracked to funding

Why the usual approach fails

  • Unstructured outreach creates mixed messages and weak positioning.
  • Vague interest notes hide gaps in the file until legal uncovers them.
  • Terms are not comparable across providers, which slows decisions.
  • KYC, liens, and reporting obligations are not clarified early.

Our solution

We prepare a lender-grade package, introduce your deal to a short list that fits ticket, sector, and tenor, and run a time-boxed auction. All Q&A is written. All offers are normalized in a matrix that management and counsel can evaluate quickly. The outcome is a signed term sheet you can execute and a closing schedule that aligns underwriting, legal, and operations.

Sizing
Test against DSCR, debt yield, LTV, or borrowing base. Align ask with coverage math.
Package
Model, credit memo, collateral and lien map, covenant proposal, data room index.
Outreach
Controlled introductions to banks, specialty funds, and buyers that match the profile.
Auction
Written Q&A. Comparable offers. Selection and locking with documented conditions.

Regulatory and market access

US distribution is available under SEC Rule 15a-6. Activity is conducted with a US registered broker-dealer that provides a chaperone arrangement. This enables outreach to US securities purchasers, including Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIBs) and accredited investors, subject to suitability and applicable laws.

What you receive in full

  • Signed term sheets. Two to four executable offers from vetted providers that match your case.
  • Comparable terms matrix. A single table that sets out rate, fees, covenants, collateral, reporting, and conditions precedent.
  • Written Q&A log. A record of clarifications that reduces renegotiation later.
  • Closing plan. Week-by-week schedule, condition tracking, required documents, and responsible parties.
  • Negotiation support. Term refinement with counsel and confirmation calls to align execution steps.

Covered transaction types

Senior debt for operating companies. Asset-based revolvers with clean receivables and inventory. Equipment loans and sale-leasebacks with verifiable serials and appraisals. Bridge and commercial real estate including acquisition, rehabilitation, and owner-occupied facilities. Working capital loans tied to imports, exports, or receivables discounting. Structured solutions such as offtake-backed facilities, partial credit guarantees with defined coverage, and contracted cash flow projects including carbon offtake prepay or stream. Scope is finalized at intake.

Timeline

  1. Week 1 to 2. Sizing and package completion.
  2. Week 1 to 3. Outreach, written Q&A, first offers.
  3. Week 3 to 5. Final offers, selection, and locked conditions.
  4. Week 5 to 7. Documentation and funding.

Legacy liens, missing reports, or enhanced KYC can extend timing. The closing plan will reflect that.
