Club/Syndicate Lending

Imagine you have a single, high-value asset, like a commercial property, and require significant capital for expansion. A traditional loan from a single lender might not be enough. This is where syndicated lending comes in.

PAC Trustees acts as a trusted intermediary, facilitating a loan agreement between you (the borrower) and a consortium of lenders. This allows you to access the capital you need while spreading the risk among multiple lenders.

Our Expertise:

  • Structuring Complex Deals: We design a customised syndicated lending structure that meets the needs of all parties involved.
  • Streamlined Loan Administration: Our experienced team handles all aspects of the loan process, from documentation and disbursement to repayment collections and reporting.
  • Preserving Asset Value: PAC Trustees acts as a custodian for the asset, ensuring its security and optimizing its value throughout the loan term.

Bonds and Debenture

Bonds and debentures are debt instruments issued by organisations to raise capital. Investors who purchase these bonds become creditors of the issuing organisation and receive periodic interest payments (coupons) and a final repayment (principal) upon maturity.

As your bond issuance trustee, PAC Trustees acts as a neutral third party, ensuring transparency and security throughout the entire process.
