Our Client
A housing association looking to raise finance to fund further social housing developments.
Our Approach
- Prepared an integrated financial projection model to summarise anticipate trading results including profit & loss accounts, cash flow statements and balance sheets.
- Challenged key assumptions provided by management
- Arranged introductions to potential funders and assisted in the presentation of the business proposal.
- Assisted in discussions with debt providers and negotiated terms on the client’s behalf
- Reviewed, considered and advised on transaction structure in conjunction with funding offers and tax structuring
- Reviewed covenants and assisted in the preparation of relevant sensitivities.
The Outcome
- Successfully raised additional debt funding to support future developments in the housing sector by ensuring the funding was the most suitable package
- Created a robust financial model that could be updated with relevant sensitivities and live data
- Limited impact to the day-to-day running of the association due to AAB project managing the fundraising process
- AAB have advised on subsequent refinancing of existing borrowing that led to further development within the housing sector.
