Syndications Capability Development 

Diverse and market-relevant funding strategies are the key to ensuring successful equipment finance businesses have the capacity to grow while maintaining strong risk management. Implementing Syndication can allow equipment finance companies to mitigate customer risk allowing them to say yes to financing a transaction that it simply cannot underwrite for its balance sheet. Syndicating transactions and portfolios allows companies to continue working with their customers without shouldering any financial risk.  

Managing Around Customer Credit Limits  

Customer credit limits can slow down a company’s development and cause it to lose out on business opportunities. Syndication gives your organization access to funding sources that give you a more flexible approach. As a result, your customers gain access to alternative funding whilst continuing to build their relationship with your team.  

Realizing Gains on Syndicated Assets  

Syndication allows your business access to higher-value assets than your company would otherwise be able to leverage. Not only does this enable you to better serve your customers, but you can also take advantage of any capital gains on the syndicated assets.  

Eliminating Potential Funding Mismatches  

Mismatching assets and liabilities can put you at risk for severe losses and even bankruptcy if your liabilities are outstripping your assets. Syndication divides the risk your equipment finance business is being exposed to. For that reason, it is a great way of eliminating the risk associated with funding mismatches.
