JOINT VENTURE

Through our contacts in Corporate Banking, Platinum Corporate Finance is able to initiate contact with the most appropriate lender for each market sector, while negotiating terms on behalf of the client.

Below is a breakdown of what to expect from the Joint Venture team of banks.

A COMPLETE FUNDING PACKAGE
The aim of a Joint Venture team is to facilitate the expansion aspirations of our clients. In establishing joint ventures, the banks provide an integrated funding package. This includes: senior debt; mezzanine debt; loan stock and interest rate management products. The same bank will also subscribe for between 15% and 50% of the joint venture equity.

The aim is to be the financial partner of choice for investors in the commercial property, hotels and house building sectors.
