Loan Structuring, LBOs & Acquisition Finance Masterclass

Structure loans that work for borrower and lender — purpose, collateral, covenants and pricing — and evaluate LBOs and acquisition finance with confidence.

The programme

A loan fails at structuring long before it fails at collection. Purpose, amount, collateral, loan type, risk recognition and mitigation, pricing and financial covenants all have to work for borrower and lender at once — and the same discipline governs leveraged buyouts and acquisition finance as growing corporates turn to debt. This masterclass gives both bankers evaluating requests and corporates seeking finance the tools to evaluate and manage loans, LBOs and acquisition finance: structuring terms in line with risk, price and regulatory requirements, weighing equity, debt, mezzanine and stock-swap funding, and evaluating target companies. Structured well, the loan book carries fewer bad debts and more profit.

What you will do

Structure loans that match price, risk and regulatory requirements, from purpose and collateral to covenants.

Frequently asked

Who is this loan structuring and LBO masterclass designed for?

Both sides of the table: bankers evaluating requests for finance — credit risk and risk management teams, treasury teams and fund managers — and corporates seeking finance, including heads of finance and management teams. The same structuring discipline serves lender and borrower alike.

What does the programme cover on LBOs and acquisition finance?

The major features of leveraged buyouts, reverse-leverage strategies, the choice between equity, debt, mezzanine and stock-swap funding, and the evaluation of target companies. It sits alongside core loan structuring — purpose, amount, collateral, loan type, risk recognition and mitigation, pricing and financial covenants — and project finance contract structures.
