And the banks say your company is not "bankable"? 👉 Use leasing! With LeasingPilot! On several occasions, (future) clients described the following, each similarly structured situation to me: 👉 The German subsidiary of a foreign corporation cannot obtain financing in Germany due to a lack of its own creditworthiness. It is not "bankable"! The situations differed in terms of their underlying causes: 🔹 (intra-group driven) lack of profitability, 🔹 newly established entity or low equity ratio, 🔹 strong growth in Germany, 🔹 low external rating of the group, overruling the subsidiary's stronger bank rating, 🔹 higher leverage of the group, e.g. in LBOs! The parent company would be happy to provide a guarantee for the financing! However, no one is able to read or incorporate the (e.g. Asian) consolidated financial statements into a rating. German banks state that they would be willing to provide financing against a guarantee from a foreign (first-class) bank! Otherwise, unfortunately, they cannot... In most cases, the German management then runs out of arguments for becoming less dependent on the shareholder loans financing the German subsidiary! 👉 Do you recognize this situation? Leasing (or hire purchase) is the solution here! Where banks turn away, leasing companies can — on an asset-based basis and without a parent guarantee — finance new investments and convert already acquired assets into liquidity via sale & leaseback! At LeasingPilot, we understand your situation and secure the optimal financing on your behalf! We have already successfully implemented this multiple times for German subsidiaries of European LBOs!
