True Advisors & The Right Partner for Critical Decisions

To optimize your success when pursuing capital-raising objectives, the right advisor is paramount. Our team helps navigate through every phase of the financing process, from the preparation of offering materials, through term sheet negotiation, lender selection, credit documentation and even funds flow on the closing date.

We are adept and experienced at handling a variety of challenging situations, including tight timelines, cross-border/multi-currency facilities, proprietary deals with limited information, acquisition financing in competitive auctions and dividend recapitalizations that return all invested equity (or more).

You’ll gain access to our relationships with over 500 capital sources worldwide and partner with a full deal team led by engaged, senior-level bankers with deep experience. Working collaboratively across the Lincoln platform, we bring industry knowledge, strategic insights and capital markets expertise to each engagement. Lincoln’s debt advisory team enhances certainty of closing by generating multiple bespoke capital structure alternatives and consistently connecting our clients with the best financing package available in the market.

Since the recession, the main shift within the U.K. debt markets has clearly been the emergence of debt funds as prominent finance providers to the mid-market. Some market participants are currently considering bringing unitranche and ABL structures to the European markets. These structures are popular in the U.S., and it will be interesting in the next few years to see whether they will gain traction in the U.K. and the rest of Europe.
