Structured Finance Advisory
NLF Consultancy's Structured Finance Advisory practice designs and arranges bespoke financing structures for complex transactions that cannot be served by conventional bank lending alone. We work at the intersection of corporate finance, capital markets, and project finance — creating solutions that optimise cost of capital, risk allocation, and tenure for each specific transaction.
Our team has experience structuring financing for infrastructure projects, real estate developments, corporate acquisitions, and asset-backed transactions — across both greenfield and brownfield opportunities. We bring together the right combination of debt, equity, and hybrid instruments to create a structure that works for all parties.
Engagements range from single-lender structured term facilities to complex multi-tranche, multi-lender structures involving banks, NBFCs, PE funds, and capital market instruments.

Our Process
Transaction Assessment
We evaluate the asset, project, or business being financed — understanding cash flows, risk profile, and optimal structure before engaging any counterparty.
Structure Design
We design the financing structure — instrument type, tranche composition, security package, covenants, and cash flow waterfall — tailored to the transaction.
Counterparty Identification
We identify and approach the right lenders, investors, or credit enhancers from our network, matched to the specific risk and return profile of the transaction.
Documentation & Negotiation
We lead term sheet negotiation and coordinate legal documentation — managing all transaction parties to maintain momentum toward close.
Financial Close & Post-Close Support
We manage financial close, drawdown conditions, and remain available for any restructuring or refinancing needs post-close.
