You mandate us to structure financing depending on the occasion, i.e. in the case of acquisition financing needs, to identify alternative sources of financing and to implement them through equity, mezzanine and/or debt capital (including subsidies from the state and relevant federal states). A typical starting situation is that companies today are looking for additional capital, both for financing current assets and for investments in fixed assets. The problem associated with this is that the absolute number of banks is gradually decreasing and lending is becoming more and more restricted due to the increasing capital requirements. The situation in the SME sector is further aggravated by the rising refinancing costs due to increased capital requirements of the lending banks depending on the object of the financing and the rating, as well as the decreasing number of banks that are still active in the SME sector.
