A boutique for complex financing.
Solution 13 is a capital advisory boutique. We work on a select number of transactions at any one time, where the structure is complex and the right capital is hard to find.
We design financing solutions across the capital structure, from senior debt to mezzanine and equity, and we raise the capital through a network of contacts built over two decades with banks, private credit funds, mezzanine providers and private equity investors across Central and Eastern Europe.
Complex transactions
Multi-lender and multi-instrument deals, special situations and time-critical cases.
Financing solutions
Structures across senior debt, mezzanine and equity, designed for each business.
Network and contacts
Direct relationships with decision-makers at banks, funds and investors across the region.
Select transactions
A limited number of mandates, so each one gets senior attention from first meeting to close.
Alternative financing at the core.
Private & structured credit
Senior, unitranche and asset-backed loans from private debt funds, with terms and covenants built around the company's cash flows.
Mezzanine
Subordinated and hybrid instruments that extend financing capacity beyond senior debt, without giving up control of the business.
Bridge loans
Short-term financing to complete an acquisition, a refinancing or a project while long-term capital is put in place.
Special situations & turnaround
Capital and structuring for complex cases: restructurings, operational turnarounds, shareholder changes and transactions with tight deadlines.
We also arrange bank financing, acquisition and leveraged buy-out finance, refinancing, private equity and growth capital.
From first analysis to drawdown.
Assess
We review the business, its financials and its objectives, and establish what can realistically be raised, on what terms.
Structure
We design the financing: instrument, amount, tenor, security and covenants, built around cash flows and shareholders' goals.
Raise
We take the transaction to a selected group of banks, funds and investors with a proven appetite for the sector, size and market.
Close
We negotiate the term sheet and documentation and stay involved until funds are drawn.
