About Private Debt PlacementsA private placement of senior debt can provide a stable source of debt capital for corporate borrowers or those in need of project finance. Although similar in nature, private placements of senior debt offer several specific advantages over traditional bank financing. Private placements help diversify funding sources beyond a company's current credit providers, helping to expand the credit availability for continued growth. Additionally, a private placement of senior debt offers long-term, fixed rate financing typically not available in the traditional bank market. This makes it ideal for those corporations wanting to lock into a low rate or for those that are contemplating a project and want a fixed payment to match their cash flows over a period of years. Private placements can be individually negotiated and structured with significant flexibility and low upfront costs when compared with traditional bank debt. They typically are structured with 15-25 year maturities, flexible amortizations and fixed interest rates at a spread over the Canadian Bond or US Treasury yields. |
