BRIDGING FINANCE
Bridging finance structured around the timing of the transaction
Short-term commercial finance for transactions where funding is required ahead of a sale, refinance or other identified exit. Allott Capital considers each opportunity in the context of the borrower, asset funding requirement, proposed structure, timing and repayment pathway.
Bridging finance is often as much about timing as the underlying asset
Bridging finance can provide an interim funding solution where the timing of one transaction does not align neatly with the next. This may arise where a borrower needs to complete an acquisition before another asset is sold, refinance an existing facility ahead of a longer-term solution or manage another defined funding gap.
Allott Capital considers the immediate funding requirement alongside the borrower, underlying security, proposed structure and intended exit. A clear understanding of how the bridge is expected to be repaid or refinanced helps frame the funding structure within the context of the overall transaction.
COMMON REQUIREMENTS
Bridging finance for different transaction scenarios
Acquisition timing
Interim finance where an acquisition needs to proceed before the sale, refinance or other expected source of repayment has completed.
Refinancing
Short-term funding where an existing facility needs to be refinanced ahead of a longer-term finance solution or other identified exit.
Settlement requirements
Bridging finance where transaction timing creates a defined funding requirement that needs to be addressed ahead of settlement or completion.
Project transition
Funding to support the transition between stages of a property or commercial transaction where the next funding or repayment event is clearly identified.
OUR APPROACH
Looking beyond the immediate funding gap
01
Requirement and timing
We consider why the bridging finance is required, the timing of the transaction and what needs to occur during the proposed funding period.
02
Borrower and security
The borrower’s circumstances and the security supporting the facility provide important context for the proposed funding structure.
03
Repayment and exit
The expected sale, refinance or other repayment pathway is considered a fundamental part of the overall transaction.
