Debt advisory and financing strategy discussion

Debt Advisory

Achieving the Best Financing Solutions

Faithstone helps clients raise, refinance, and restructure debt for optimized terms and reduced risk, from new financings to balance sheet resets, with independent advice fully aligned to client interests.

We help clients raise debt capital, refinance existing facilities, and access diverse financing solutions for optimized terms and reduced risk. Our debt advisory work draws on extensive knowledge across corporate debt, leveraged finance, and the debt capital markets.

As an independent advisor, Faithstone is not tied to any lender. We impartially explore financing options across banks, private credit funds, and non-bank lenders, with our guidance focused solely on the structure, pricing, and terms that best serve the client's objectives.

Our practice also includes restructuring. We aid clients in strategizing and executing restructuring plans, such as balance sheet recapitalizations, to reset finances and leverage future growth opportunities. We assist with challenges ranging from mild stress to complete balance sheet resets and debt-for-equity conversions, supporting clients at every stage and helping them rebuild credibility with creditors and other stakeholders.

How We Help

Independent Advice from New Financings to Balance Sheet Resets.

Debt Raising & Financing

We help clients raise new debt capital for growth, acquisitions, or liquidity across corporate debt and leveraged finance, including senior secured, unitranche, subordinated, and asset-based structures.

Recapitalizations & Restructurings

We advise on complex recapitalizations and restructurings that reset the balance sheet and restore financial flexibility.

Lender & Capital Markets Access

We help clients access diverse capital sources, including banks, private credit funds, and non-bank lenders aligned with their profile.

Distressed M&A, Chapter 11 & Contested Valuation

We advise on distressed M&A, support clients navigating Chapter 11 and other formal processes, and provide analysis in contested valuation situations.

Debt Renegotiation, Settlement & Exchange Offers

We help clients renegotiate and settle debt, and structure exchange offers and debt-for-equity conversions, improving terms and rebuilding creditor relationships.

Refinancing & Repricing

We evaluate existing facilities and pursue refinancing or repricing opportunities that improve terms, extend maturities, and reduce cost of capital.
