What is a facility agent?
What a facility agent does on a syndicated or club loan, and why independence matters.

The functions that fail quietly are the ones that cost the most.
Each agent role a financing deal runs on — covenant monitoring, calculation, administration — we run as a business line, with transparent pricing, quoted in writing.
Talk to us todayThe problem
Most agency work goes to the big houses, where onboarding takes weeks, documentation takes weeks, and every decision waits on a committee. When your deal needs an agent moving now, that incumbent becomes the bottleneck. Arrangers, lenders, and issuers come to us for the same reason: they have a live problem and need someone who can act today.
The approach
The agent your deal actually needs
Speed to onboard
Talk today, proposal tomorrow, onboarded the day after. Deal pace, not corporate pace.
Flexibility across deal types
Facility and calculation agent, programme administration, covenant monitoring, registrar — across syndicated loans and bond issuances. Whatever the deal needs, we drop in.
Modern infrastructure
Real-time, integrated, automated. Not spreadsheets, email chains, and manual reconciliation.
Impartial by design
We apply the documents impartially, for every party to the deal.
Straight answers
The questions you’re already asking
Aren’t you newer than the big houses?
The team carries decades of market experience. You get that depth without the legacy bureaucracy that slows the incumbents down.
Can you handle complex or unusual structures?
Yes. Administrative difficulty and bespoke structures are exactly where we’re built to operate — that’s the point of a specialist agent.
How can you onboard so fast?
Because we’re not waiting on committees and legacy systems. Modern infrastructure plus dedicated focus turns weeks into days.
