Rescue & bridge financing
Immediate liquidity into stressed situations, bridging to a refinancing, a disposal or a restructuring, on timelines measured in weeks.
Unconventional does not mean unfinanceable
Some situations do not fit a bank's credit box: a compressed timeline, a complex structure, a sector out of favour, a story that takes an hour to understand. There is a deep pool of capital that underwrites exactly these situations, but it is opaque, relationship-driven and unforgiving of a badly run process.
Ravenhill knows this market because we work in it constantly. We know who deploys into what, at which return thresholds, on what timeline, and how to make competing term sheets arrive on the same day.
What we do
Special situations credit
Bespoke facilities from funds built to underwrite complexity, where structure, security and story matter more than the rating.
Asset-backed solutions
Liquidity unlocked against receivables, inventory, fleet, property and contracted revenues when cash-flow lending is unavailable.
Holdco & structured debt
PIK, holdco and hybrid structures that raise capital without disturbing operating-company facilities or existing lender relationships.
Debt-led recapitalisations
Releasing shareholder value or resetting ownership economics through the debt stack, without giving up the equity.
Portfolio & NPL advisory
Advising holders of stressed credit portfolios on strategy, valuation dynamics and execution with specialist buyers.

Built for compressed timelines

Week 02
Target the capital
A shortlist of funds already active in the sector, structure and size, approached in parallel, under NDA.
Weeks 03–04
Create tension
Competing term sheets, negotiated hard on economics, security and covenants, even at speed.
Weeks 05–06
Fund
Confirmatory diligence and documentation run in parallel, to a funding date the business can plan around.
Complexity is only a problem for the unprepared.
Tell us the situation. We will tell you, candidly, whether and how it finances.
