Debt Advisory
Duff & Phelps Debt Advisory works in partnership with corporate clients and their stakeholders to ensure the most effective and appropriate funding solutions are in place. We aim to become the 'trusted advisor' to clients and lenders alike.
Our Debt Advisory team works closely with other relevant Duff & Phelps departments including Business Consulting to deliver a complete corporate advisory offering to clients that are not in need of restructuring or insolvency advice.
Duff & Phelps Debt Advisory offers a bespoke service, initially investing the time with clients to fully understand their aspirations and funding requirements. Following the preparation of an individually tailored strategy proposal, Duff & Phelps Debt Advisory works closely with clients in negotiating facilities and agreeing terms and conditions with both current and prospective funders. Our partner-led team remains fully involved through to completion.
Our team includes seasoned corporate bankers and corporate financiers with considerable experience in preparing and assessing bank credit applications, giving our clients invaluable advantage when securing a re-negotiation of existing banking terms or the presentation of a refinancing proposal to prospective new lenders.
Duff & Phelps frequently become involved in situations where 'mediation' is required, often where the relationship between funders and the client has become strained. In such situations our primary objective is to get all parties comfortable and reach a mutually agreeable way forward, avoiding potential unnecessary refinancing and/or due diligence costs.
