Tailor-made for a better buyout
Article Abstract:
The growing competition in the UK and continental European venture capital market means there is growing pressure on senior debt providers to produce financing packages which can boost equity returns while avoiding the overly leveraged deals seen in the late 1980s. Many banks have returned to the senior debt market since 1994, but still remember past problems and are taking a more cautious approach to leveraged structures. Equity houses are also looking for alternatives to mezzanine, and one solution would be to develop a European high-yield note market.
