Lender Introduction Service & Term Sheet Auction Management
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.
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.
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.
