Banking Optimisation

At times, the challenge of simply accessing funds can distract from the appropriateness of terms, rates and structure of your banking facilities. Banks aren’t renowned for proactivity, when was the last time your bank reduced your customer risk interest margin or advised what you need to do to reduce securities?.

Is it time to consider how you can optimise your banking?.

I work with you, your financial advisors, and your bank to ensure your banking package is right for you, endeavouring to find ways to improve your pricing and structure, giving tangible targets, with agreed outcomes.

We can do the following:

Health check on existing debt and transactional facilities appropriateness.

Market validation of competitiveness.

Optimise finance structure, interest rates and fees, terms covenants, security, amortization and hedging strategies.

Assist with negotiations directly with financiers and advisors.

 

“Knowledge empowers - I’m an experienced senior banker, I just don’t work for a bank anymore! I use the insight and first-hand knowledge of banks’ key drivers of risk, interest rates, and terms for your advantage.”
