Securitization For Corporates

For corporates that have seen their credit rating downgraded as a result of mounting financial pressure or a leveraged buyout (LBO), a trade receivables securitization (asset based lending) offers an excellent alternative source of funding. A trade receivables securitization deal allows corporates to receive AA- or AAA-rated standard trade receivables finance, although the company’s actual rating may be below that, since this form of debt is rated according to the credit quality of the debtors, and not of the issuer. This higher rated debt can reduce a corporate’s cost of funds by between 100 and 200 basis points.

Trade receivables securitization offers a corporate an attractive cost of funds and reduced interest costs.

Trade receivables securitization is a committed-term financing with a soft amortisation profile.

Engaging in a trade receivables securitization transaction enables a corporate to diversify their funding sources.

Securitization For Private Equity Sponsors 

Increasingly, private equity sponsors are turning to trade receivables securitization (a form of asset based lending) in post leverage buyouts (LBO) companies to control both the level of borrowing and associated interest costs. Trade receivables securitization and receivables financing  is also being utilised as a method of providing higher levels of working capital to develop value in buy-out companies. Using the proceeds of a trade receivables securitization to push out debt repayment schedules brings a valuable reduction in amortisation pressure, transforming the post-LBO balance sheet of the corporate.
