Value Chain Financing includes advisory support related to any financial solution for working capital in a client’s value chain, such as Supply Chain Financing, Customer Financing, Securitization or other forms of Receivables Financing or other asset-backed financing and trade finance solutions.Capacent is an independent advisor with experience from evaluating and working with a large number of clients, financiers and solution providers. We support clients throughout the process of evaluating and implementing Value Chain Financing solutions, including:

• General advisory and strategy
• Feasibility studies and development of business cases
• Selection of financiers, including support with defining requirements, developing an RFP, evaluation of offers, and negotiation
• Implementation and rollout of the selected solution

Our view is that the key to creating value through structured finance solutions is to ensure that they are not seen as merely a tool for improving the financial net or the balance sheet, but are used as part of a clear strategy for supporting the operational business. The combined experience from working with operational improvements in core business processes and with specific financial solutions gives Capacent a unique ability to advise on strategy, to tailor the design of solutions to fit the needs of each client, and to proactively identify and help manage potential issues in the implementation and rollout of solutions.
