Debt advisory built on analysis, trust and relationships.

Ernest Partners supports companies in making informed financing decisions, whether for investments, acquisitions, working capital, refinancings or other complex situations. Our role goes beyond making introductions. We perform a thorough analysis of the company’s strategy, financials, business plan, budget, cash flows and broader organisation. Where needed, we help build the business plan, budget and cash flow forecast.

From there, we prepare a clear financing presentation and bring the process to the market through the right financing partners, including banks, private and public institutional investors, debt funds, family offices and other financiers.rnrnTrust and relationships are key to this process. Both take time to build, and both contribute to sustainable performance.

From analysis
to closing

We guide clients through a clear and structured process, from the first analysis to the final outcome. This framework applies to most of our mandates. Depending on the scope of our role, for example when we act as a financing sounding board, the process may be adapted to the client’s specific needs.

Ernest Partners discussing a financing mandate

1. Analysis

We perform an in-depth analysis of the company’s financial situation, strategy, organisational structure, business plan, budget and cash flows. If these elements are not yet in place, we help build them.

Based on this analysis, we prepare the financial materials and financing presentation, including the company’s strategy, financial situation, funding needs, key business risks and the actions taken to mitigate them.

2. Pitching

We approach selected financiers and present the company and its financing need in a clear and convincing way.

We manage discussions, meetings and Q&A with financiers. Where relevant, we explore several financing solutions in parallel to compare interest, structure and terms.

3. Closing

We remain hands-on throughout negotiations, documentation and syndication, helping clients move towards a financing solution that fits their needs.
