Project Description

The company requests 600 000 € with 2 months of deferred repayment to finance the developement of the group in historical and new regions. This project will be realised in the next few months.

As a reminder, the October lending community supported AFC Promtion in 2016, 2017 and February 2019 with a total of 2 950 000 € to finance hirings, communication and development in Paris and Genevan regions.

This project is a Flexible Bridge Loan, an amortizable loan with a standard commitment for the first 9 months and the possibility of early repayment at no cost for the remainder of the loan term, even in the event of refinancing by other financial institutions.

This project is a medium-term loan with a capital amortisation deferment and as such presents a different method of capital repayment than standard projects. The first 2 months, the lenders will only receive interest; the following 34 months, the lenders will receive interest and principal amortization. This principal repayment profile matches the borrower’s financing needs while allowing lenders to earn a higher amount of interest.

As part of their future investment plan, the borrower may come back to the October platform within the coming quarter, up to a maximum exposure of 940 000 €. Our analysis takes this into account; the rating of the borrower would not be affected, while the FCCR would become 1,2.

The amount offered on the platform is limited to 294000€, which is in line with the regulatory limits.
