Optimizing the Balance Sheet

A situation well-known to many mid cap companies

Many mid-cap companies depend on one or two principal banks. Often, banks mix business financing with private asset management, due to private securities which are used for the company's bank debt. In addition, often all or the majority of the company's assets are pledged by the principal banks. Also, debt is organized as current accounts with very short term cancellation policies.

Principles of modern balance sheet optimization

    • Segregation of private and company assets
    • Synchronization of financing and investing
    • Splitting of debt between specialized sources of debt

    Numerous ways of balance sheet optimization

    In recent years, innovative financing options became available to mid-cap companies. Furthermore, some of the established instruments, such as e.g. factoring, lost their negative reputation and are acceptable nowadays.
    Selected examples of balance sheet optimization:
    • Sale and Lease-back of immaterial assets (brands, intellectual property, self-developed software)
    • Sale and Lease-back of properties, facilities and machinery
    • Inventory finance
    • Project finance
    • Receivable finance
    • Factoring
    • (Silent partner) Equity
    • Bonded loans / mezzanine capital
