The Finanssitaito Mid Market Bond+ service is suitable for situations where the primary objective is to arrange bond financing in the scale of at least tens of millions of euros. A typical objective is the issuance of a 1–10 year corporate bond, enabling the financing client to transition from traditional loan financing to more flexible and predictable bond market financing. The service is also suitable for companies with prior experience of bond issuances that seek to strengthen their position in the mid-market corporate bond market through follow-on issuances. Where necessary, the outcome of the service may also include a comprehensive solution consisting of a corporate bond alongside conventional debt instruments and other financing or guarantee elements.
Finanssitaito’s role is to assess the financing target, assist the client in collecting essential information and preparing company presentation materials. An essential part of the service is also establishing contact with a suitable and cooperative bond issuance arranger and assisting in initiating negotiations and collaboration. This improves the financing client’s ability to secure the most favourable issuance terms for their operations, accelerates market access and minimises reputational risk arising from unsuccessful negotiations or cancelled issuances.
Where appropriate, Finanssitaito may also advise the client and the issuance arranger in the preparation of offering documentation and loan terms optimised for the client’s needs. The objective is to ensure smooth cooperation between the financing recipient and the selected arranger, as well as the successful execution of the bond issuance and any related financing solutions.
