Since 1994, Strategic Rail Finance has successfully coordinated financing for all sizes and types of rail-related transactions. This niche market had been historically underserved by the lending community.
Strategic Rail Finance applies substantial time, focus, and creative effort to develop the most effective interpretation of our clients’ financial strength. This approach leverages their assets and structures funding solutions that create the greatest value. Strategic Rail Finance is able to secure better terms, lower rates and more flexible covenants, while providing a significant increase in overall access to capital.
The key to business growth is the maximization of funding available both now and in the future. The "one transaction-at-a-time" approach leaves businesses grasping when expansion opportunities press up against previous financial covenants. Applying our innovative approach Strategic Rail Finance:
- Analyzes our clients’ financial, operational, and collateral assets,
- Secures funding for immediate needs,
- Develops a long-term strategy to maximize their access to capital, and
- Structures funding agreements that facilitate growth.
Lenders screen transactions to allow only those that "fit" their standard lending parameters and focus on tying-up as much collateral as possible, restricting the borrowers' ability to expand.
