Raising new debt on favourable terms, or renewing existing facilities, has become tougher, even for the strongest borrowers.

In today's conditions, access to financing as well as the conditions of the financing accessed provide an important competitive advantage for companies. Due to tightening market conditions, even the strongest companies may experience difficulties in accessing the right financing.

With our local team of experts and international experience, KPMG Türkiye provides professional services on issues such as obtaining new financing, improving the terms of existing financing, and managing relationships with lenders. At KPMG Türkiye, we also assist our clients with financial restructuring, syndicated loans, project finance loans, sustainable indebtedness level determination, independent review & monitoring report, negotiations with lenders, working capital loans and acquisition financing.

Borrowers need to realistically appraise the nature of their present banking relationships, evaluate alternatives, understand their true cost of capital, and approach debt in the context of an effective overall capital management strategy.

Poorly structured debt facilities can result in reduced profitability, increased financial risk and wasted management time.

Boards, and their CEOs, CFOs and treasurers increasingly appreciate the need for an independent view on important funding decisions and advice on funding strategies, debt procurement and capital management.

In this rapidly changing environment, every firm faces challenges. Each step in the wrong direction can have a serious impact on your organizational performance and firm value.

Operational Restructuring

To overcome operational or financial challenges and improve performance, you need to quickly stabilize your cash and liquidity positions and take a realistic view of your available options.

We offer a tailored approach to stabilizing poorly performing companies by identifying opportunities for strategic, operational, organizational and financial change and leveraging them to deliver real results.

Financial Restructuring

When a firm experiences financial difficulties, stakeholders often need additional information or resources to help reassure them. We help you understand the complex environment of borrowers, lenders and shareholders and manage stakeholder communications to stay ahead of issues and make the best decisions. We help you assess your short-term liquidity requirements and actions to quickly protect your assets and address potential risks that prevent you from stabilizing.

We prepare the Independent Business Review and Monitoring Report ("Independent Business Review", "IBR") you need in your restructuring processes and assess your current financial situation as an independent and objective party.

With our integrated team of experts, we help you focus on the key issues in your corporate restructuring to achieve sustainable operational and financial change:

Our team supports you not only in deciding which of these financing methods is right for you and how it can be provided, but also in the preparation stage for these financing methods.

Through clear and consistent communication, we can help you develop and strengthen investor support for financing agreements.
