Finance for CIS clients

Since the implementation of increased sanctions from the west, clients resident in CIS region countries certainly raise challenges for us when helping them to utilize the full potential of the current credit market.  Weak local CIS currencies, increasingly strict regulation policy and limited appetite from lenders to finance those clients means access to cheaper finance is narrow or non-existent.  Despite this our CIS desk has placed more than £500M in finance.

Arc & Co. is a specialist in assisting CIS clients.  Over the last 10 years we have helped our clients access the best available products in the market tailored to their particular needs in terms of gearing level, pricing and duration whilst taking account of circumstances like nationality, residency, the source of wealth, types of the underlying asset and the client’s income.  During an initial phone call, based on our experience, we can predict what is achievable for the client in the current market conditions. We can assist in cases of short time frame, ongoing loan term expiry, lack of liquidity or the lender particular jurisdiction/asset policy change through to giving advice in cases of debt structuring like refinancing, acquisition financing or equity release.

Review of 2017 and the year ahead

2017 is coming to a close and despite a troublesome financial market, Arc & Co. have had another successful year. As a team we have organised and structured over £450m of loans.

Although the headlines suggest a volatile market, there has been an increase in the amount of liquidity available and the majority of funders are still keen to deploy money into both development and investment transactions.

We have arranged 70 loans across the capital stack throughout the year, ranging from a 17.5% LTV investment facility on a central London property, up to 95% LTC/75% LTGDV on large residential developments.

Please find below a list of products we put in place throughout 2017:

·         Development & conversion loans throughout the capital stack

·         Bridge loans to purchase

·         Bridge loans to purchase, rolled into development facilities

·         Development exit bridges

·         Investment loans for purchase or refinance (in many cases releasing capital for re-investment)

·         Bridge to purchase and stabilise, rolled into long-term investment money

In 2018 we hope to do much of the same using our expertise in structuring real estate loans for all areas of the market.  If you have any transactions in the pipeline for 2018 that you would like to discuss, please make contact.
