Hire a debt financing advisor in Greece and Cyprus

Raising debt well is a matter of preparation and structure; an advisor brings both before the bank does.

Growth capex, an acquisition, working capital, refinancing an expensive facility: at some point most companies need to borrow, and the terms they get depend on how they arrive at the table. A debt financing advisor prepares the case, structures the request, runs the process with banks or other lenders, and negotiates the terms and covenants that will shape the company for years.

The advisors on Hellenic Talent come from bank lending and structuring teams, corporate finance advisory, and CFO roles. They know how Greek and Cypriot banks assess a file, which alternative lenders and development-bank schemes are worth approaching, and where the covenants are really set.

What does a debt financing advisor actually do?

  • Assess how much debt the business can carry and in what form
  • Build the financing case: business plan, cash-flow model, and information pack
  • Structure the request: bank debt, bonds, leasing, or a blend with development-bank programmes
  • Run a competitive process across lenders instead of a single conversation
  • Negotiate pricing, security, and covenants that leave room to operate
  • Manage the closing and the reporting obligations that follow

How to choose the right debt financing advisor

What to test in the first conversation, whoever you end up hiring.

  1. Has sat on the lending side

    Understands from the inside how a credit committee reads a request.

  2. Knows the local lenders

    Can name which banks and schemes fit your size, sector, and purpose.

  3. Covenants, not just rates

    Talks about security packages and covenants before talking about headline rates.

  4. Independent of the lender

    Is paid by you, not by the bank placing the loan.

  5. Says when not to borrow

    Willing to advise that equity, or waiting, is the better route.
