Debt Financing

Gordon Brothers’ ability to provide bespoke lending solutions is based on a deep understanding of asset values, gained through the appraisal of over €30 billion of retail assets and the acquisition and/or disposition of over €5 billion of assets each year.

We understand the challenges that retailers and consumer product companies face during all phases of their life-cycles. Each client’s business is different and calls for a creative, bespoke approach to financing.

The lending solutions provided by Gordon Brothers include tranche B loans, mezzanine financing and bridge loans. Our financing is typically used to provide working capital for restructuring, fund turnarounds, mergers and acquisitions and long-term growth. We are also comfortable with ‘turnaround’ investing.

Gordon Brothers has close relationships with leading retailers, private equity firms and most of the world’s best-known banks.

“Thanks to Gordon Brothers, we are now about to establish our new sales concept under stable and comfortable conditions.”
Dieter Tyralla, Finance Director, Promarkt

Investing

Gordon Brothers is able to manage transactions both large and small and has the resources to arrange transactions requiring capital in excess of €100 million. The company is able to discretely fund up to €50 million on any given debt or equity transaction.

Our capital solutions are often more attractive than other financing options because we understand the issues our clients face and how to maximise the value of their assets.

“We achieved exactly what we needed by using Gordon Brothers.”
David Trucano, Goldman Sachs
