Advisory for Bank, Creditor & Investor Engagement

We help companies prepare their financial and credit communication with banks, creditors, investors and other relevant stakeholders — both in financing or refinancing processes, and in events that may affect their projected cash flow, liquidity, repayment capacity and credit risk perception.

Our Approach

Preparing for bank, creditor and investor assessment

Banks, creditors, investors and credit committees assess companies through a practical credit lens: business stability, cash flow generation, liquidity, leverage, repayment capacity and risk factors. The assessment also considers the quality of financial information, the consistency of the executive message and relevant corporate governance elements. NorEste Global brings senior experience across global banking and credit ratings to help companies prepare the information and narrative that banks, creditors, investors and other financial stakeholders need to assess credit with clarity.

Phase One

Credit diagnostic and financial context

We review the company's financial information, business context, financing objective or the relevant event to be explained, in order to identify the key credit points that banks, creditors, investors and other financial stakeholders will need to understand.

Phase Two

Narrative, projections and information package

We prepare the financial and credit narrative, long-term projections, repayment capacity analysis, resulting credit metrics and supporting explanations needed to clearly communicate the financial impact, relevant risks and the mitigating factors of the company's credit weaknesses.

Phase Three

Preparation for conversations and Q&A

We prepare management for conversations with banks, creditors, investors and other financial stakeholders, including anticipation of questions, alignment of the executive message and, when required, expert engagement with financial stakeholders on the company's behalf.

Frequently asked

Common questions

How is this different from working with our investment bank?

Investment bankers focus on transaction execution. We focus on credit preparation: how the company's credit profile is presented analytically, what banks and credit committees may ask, and how to structure the narrative. The two roles are complementary.

Do you have relationships with specific banks?

We are independent of any bank. Our role is to prepare the company's financial and credit information for any counterpart, allowing management to engage financial institutions on their own terms.

Can you help if we have already started conversations with banks?

Yes. We can engage at later stages — including when a first round of meetings has revealed gaps in the company's credit information. We help refine the narrative, organize the financial information and prepare management for the next round of discussions.

Can you support us with relevant events that need to be explained to banks, creditors or investors?

Yes. We help prepare financial and credit communication around events that may affect the company's risk perception, explaining their impact on projected cash flow, liquidity, credit metrics, repayment capacity and mitigating factors.
