Refinancing & maturity management
Replacing, extending and repricing existing facilities ahead of maturity, before timing pressure becomes negotiating leverage for the other side.
Debt should be a decision, not a default
Most companies refinance with the lenders they already know, on the terms they are first offered. We exist to widen that aperture. Ravenhill runs structured, competitive processes across banks, credit funds and specialist lenders, so that pricing, covenants and flexibility are set by the market, not by habit.
From first diagnostic to final documentation, the mandate is run by senior practitioners who have negotiated these terms from both sides of the table.
What we do
New debt raises
Structuring and raising senior, unitranche, second lien, mezzanine and holdco facilities for growth, acquisitions and shareholder objectives.

Amendments & covenant resets
Renegotiating headroom, baskets and flexibility within existing documents, quietly and from a position of preparation.

Four phases. One outcome.
Phase 01
Diagnostic
Full read of the existing structure, documents and plan. What the company has, what it needs, and where the gaps are.
Phase 02
Structuring
The target structure, the lender map and the negotiating strategy, agreed with the board before anyone is approached.
Phase 03
Competition
A managed process across selected lenders, run to create genuine tension on pricing, terms and flexibility.
Phase 04
Execution
Term sheets to documentation to funding, negotiated line by line and closed with discipline.

A capital structure review is often where our client relationships begin. It commits you to nothing.
