SCL assists clients on raising credit from financial institutions, banks, and other lending institutions. We on behalf of the client will identify the sources of funds to be procured from and subsequently make arrangements to comply with the formalities required in procuring the funds.
The services will generally include preparing project details, identification of source of funds, negotiations on rates, preparing and filing of the loan applications, obtaining necessary documents, complying with the terms and conditions for availability of loan.
We will mainly assist our clients on:
Term Loan: Loans that are long term are paid on an installment basis (equal monthly installment basis) which includes principal and interest. Term loans are usually taken by companies for financing in areas such as acquisition of premises, plant and machinery expansion or new machinery purchase or to add extra fixed capital that enhances their business.
Consortium Loan: Consortium loans are generally long-term loans and require huge financing. Consortium loan is a process of arranging loan facilities to a company whereby many banks collectively fund a project to reduce their risk exposure in a single project that requires a large sum of money.
Loan size of above 1 Billion needs to be done through a consortium loan. We identify the lead bank, make necessary negotiations and communication with them, and syndicate lending institutions on client’s behalf. We use our expertise and network link from parent companies to arrange for a consortium loan.
Working Capital Financing: Working capital loans are generally short term and are of revolving nature. Working capital loans focuses on financing day to day cash needs of a company which improves their liquidity position. Financing of working capital can be done through overdraft facility arrangement, short term loan.
We assist our clients to arrange sources of funds required to finance the day-to-day operation of the business. We work with them to arrange short term loans, overdrafts, and letter of credit.
Venture capital financing
Venture capital mostly finances companies in their seed stage or start-up companies that are deemed to have great future potential of growth. Financing for seed stage companies is done through collection of funds that are pooled from different investors or it can be an angel investor who finances the projects. Venture capital funding can start with an early seed stage where companies are yet to be established to later stage where the companies are fully grown to start commercial operation of their products.
SCL assists companies at seed stage to assess viability of the project and arrange financial resources for the project. As an advisor, we conduct evaluation of business plans including analysis of market scenario, product analysis, assessment of organizational capacity, and evaluation of financial projections to assess whether the project is financially viable.
Once the project is found feasible, we on behalf of the client identify the sources of funds, negotiate on terms of financing, obtaining necessary documents, and ensuring the compliance of prevailing laws applicable to the project.
