International Financial and Technical Consultants, LLC

For most businesses, debt financing plays a key role in overall financial strategy. However, lending institutions view the business profile of the borrower from a different perspective than that of an equity investor. The lenders do not just look at the growth opportunities or likelihood of earning above-average returns on investment. Therefore, presenting the borrower’s business profile from a creditworthiness point of view is critical.

We have extensive prior energy-sector lending experience (recourse, non-recourse, limited recourse, and highly levered transactions to investment-grade and sub-investment-grade borrowers) with a prestigious money center bank. We possess the knowledge base to assist the company (prospective borrower) in extracting the relevant information and presenting the necessary information to lenders. We understand the parameters and internal credit approval process of many lending institutions.
