  • We work on the basis of a “shadow P&L”, internally assigning ourselves a percentage of the income based on the role we have had in the operation.
  • We provide knowledge and experience in certain sectors and companies.

FAQs

What service does the CRA team provide to customers? Icon / PlusCreated with Sketch.Icon / minusCreated with Sketch.

The CRA team provides an overview of the financial structure to customers. It does not have an exclusive focus on a single product, but rather supports both bankers and all GDF and M&A products.

What type of financial analysis does it perform? Icon / PlusCreated with Sketch.Icon / minusCreated with Sketch.

Within a global overview of the customer, the CRA analyses the financial structure as a whole. Specifically: debt capacity in M&A processes; potential external rating in case of recommending becoming listed on the capital markets; liquidity analysis; identification of financial needs; capital structure recommendations, etc.

How much does the CRA charge customers for its services? Icon / PlusCreated with Sketch.Icon / minusCreated with Sketch.

The CRA works based on a "Shadow P&L". That is, it does not directly charge customers.

To which customers can we offer CRA services? Icon / PlusCreated with Sketch.Icon / minusCreated with Sketch.

Given the type of analysis that the CRA does, the selection of customers will be dependent on their size. The customer must be large in size in order to decide whether or not to seek access to the capital markets as an alternative to traditional bank financing.

Do we have the capability to advise customers regarding the process for obtaining a rating? Icon / PlusCreated with Sketch.Icon / minusCreated with Sketch.

Yes, our CRA team has the capability to advise customers in the process of obtaining a rating. In fact, it has already advised customers such as ADIF, Aldesa and Prosegur in this process. In turn, it has advised certain customers to refinance financing without recourse with project bonds, such as the Solaben plants 1 and 6 of the Abengoa group.
