Corporate Leverage Finance highlights
A senior debt product designed for established businesses requiring funding for growth, an acquisition, change of ownership or other general corporate purpose. Loan size is determined by a multiple of EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortisation) or vacant possession value of an owner-occupied commercial property, with repayments coming from future cashflows of the business.
