Who This Is For
Term loan advisory and structure review may be particularly relevant for businesses at key points in their capital journey.
Businesses funding expansion, acquisition, equipment, or market entry with term debt who want to ensure their capital structure is competitive.
Companies approaching loan maturity, facing balloon payments, or operating under legacy terms that may no longer reflect current market conditions.
Private equity and family office portfolio companies seeking to optimize capital structure, right-size facilities, or evaluate debt-for-expansion scenarios.
Businesses entering their first institutional term loan relationship who want independent guidance on market terms, lender selection, and negotiation positioning.
Signals to Review
Several indicators can suggest that an independent review of term loan structure, pricing, and terms may identify opportunities to strengthen the company's position.
Loans approaching maturity may benefit from early market assessment — before refinancing pressure narrows optionality.
Spreads or all-in rates that appear wide relative to current market comps for similar credit profiles and structures.
Financial covenants that have become restrictive relative to business trajectory — or terms that limit operational flexibility.
Revenue growth, margin expansion, or leverage reduction since the loan was originated may create refinancing or repricing opportunities.
Planning an acquisition, recapitalization, dividend, or major capex cycle — where debt structure should be reviewed before, not after.
Changes in lender ownership, credit policy, industry appetite, or relationship management that may affect service, pricing, or renewal terms.

We review a wide range of term loan structures — conventional bank loans, SBA 7(a) and 504 loans, credit union term facilities, direct lender and private credit term loans, and specialty finance structures. Our review covers rate, spread, fees, amortization, covenants, prepayment provisions, and overall competitiveness relative to current market conditions.
Not necessarily. In some cases, the review may confirm that existing terms are competitive. In others, findings may support renegotiation with the current lender. Switching lenders is only explored when there is a clear advantage, and always with the company's full discretion.
Yes. All reviews are conducted under strict confidentiality. Information is shared only with the client and only with the client's consent. Existing lender relationships are not notified of the review process unless and until the client chooses to engage.
Typically, we request the existing term sheet or loan agreement, recent financial statements (2-3 years plus interim), and a brief summary of any known issues or upcoming capital needs. The document list is tailored to each engagement and kept to the minimum needed for a meaningful review.
Most reviews are completed within 10 to 14 business days after receiving the necessary documentation. The timeline depends on the complexity of the structure and the availability of complete information. We can accommodate accelerated timelines when needed.
