Repayments and fees
Understand the cost before you commit. A repayment plan should be assessed against your business cash flow, the total borrowing cost and the conditions attached to it. A smaller monthly payment can mean a longer term and more interest overall.

Repayment Benchmark & Terms
PRICING
Essential terms every formal offer must specify
Gross vs. Net Disbursed Funds
The exact borrowed principal alongside actual net funds received after origination deductions, legal underwriting retainers, and mandatory disbursements.
CAPITAL VERIFICATION →Interest Basis & Rate Variability
Clear distinction between fixed and variable rates, benchmark reference (Euribor/Sonia), applicable margin, review cycles, and any floor or cap limits.
BENCHMARK FORMULA →Comprehensive Repayment Schedule
Repayment frequency, full term tenure, amortizing schedule, total scheduled repayment sum, and maturity balloon figures explicitly detailed.

LEGAL SAFEGUARDS →Aligning repayment architecture with operational cash flow
Explore tailored amortization profiles engineered around your business revenue cycles and project realization.
Regular Instalments
Predictable monthly or quarterly principal and interest reductions designed for stable, recurring commercial trading revenue and predictable balance sheets.
Seasonal & Variable Schedules
Flexible repayment pacing tailored to cyclical industries, agricultural harvests, tourism, or milestone-based enterprise invoicing with variable cash inflow.
Staged Drawdowns & Capital Tranches
Progressive facility release matching construction, CapEx, or development phases, minimizing unneeded carry interest while securing total committed capacity.
Capital Repayment Grace Periods
Principal repayment moratorium during ramp-up or asset commissioning phases, preserving working capital before stabilized commercial revenue is reached.
Clear disclosures on advisory fees, commissions, and grant funding
Complete clarity on our advisory mandate, partner commissions, and separate public grant rules
before you commit.
Disclosed Remuneration & Written Scope
Our role and remuneration are fully disclosed in writing before you agree to any paid advisory service. No surprise origination or administrative overhead.
Fee Timing & Refund Conditions
All application, advisory, arrangement, or success fees clearly detail when they become payable and associated refund rules under standard terms.
Lender Commission Transparency
Where an institutional lender provides intermediary commission, we formally disclose the arrangement and mitigate conflicts in our representation.
Independent Grant Advisory Costs
Grant preparation and advisory fees are completely separate from public grant disbursements and must be accounted for within sponsor equity budgets.
Grant Co-Investment & Retrospective Spend
Public grants often require match funding and proof of expenditure prior to retrospective reimbursement. Bridging facilities may be required.
Programme Cost Eligibility Check
We clarify whether advisory structuring costs can be claimed under your specific grant programme before budgeting to preserve total capital efficiency.
Support and communication if repayment conditions change
Early Communication & Notification
Contact your lender or servicing agent immediately using verified agreement channels as soon as cash flow strains emerge. Early intervention unlocks forbearance solutions not available once default occurs.
Agreed Schedule Variations
Any modification to amortization schedules, interest capitalization, or covenant adjustments requires mutual formal consent; relief is not automatic and must reflect genuine turnaround forecasts.
