Project description

The company wishes to borrow 31 500 € over 36 months to finance the repayment of the shareholder loan. This project will be realised next month.

Analyst’s opinion

With a turnover of 1 574 161 € in 2017 and an experienced team, the company has a good track record combined with a strong operating margin.

The drop of turnover in 2016 is explained by the exceptional year 2015 with a spot order of the French Marine.

The forecast is based on the performance of the last exercise.

The borrower has an excellent repayment capacity with a forecast FCCR (Fixed Charge Cover Ratio *) at 2,39 and an excellent financial structure, with a forecast net debt / ebitda ratio of 0,3 and a net debt / shareholder equity of 1% taking into account the stable shareholder loan.

The analysis of the project leads to a credit rating of A+ and a 3,1% annual interest rate.

Strong points

• Good historical performance based on diversified client base.
• Solid repayment ability with a FCCR of 2,39.
• Niche market with no other french actor

Points of vigilence

• Dependance to the French army supplier
• High level of valuable inventory

*The multiple of FCCR at 2.39 means that the company has a safety margin of 139% relative to its ability to repay its credit maturities.
