Capabilities
Four disciplines, one question in each: what does this transaction generate, and what can that support?
Disciplines
Long-dated capital for assets that generate their own repayment.
Empyrean arranges limited- and non-recourse structures for infrastructure, energy and industrial projects, where repayment is carried by the cash the asset itself produces rather than by the sponsor's balance sheet.
Working capital that moves with the cargo.
Instruments and facilities that close the gap between shipment and settlement, so an exporter is not financing its buyer and an importer is not paying before it can sell.
Capital raised against a signed obligation to pay.
Where a creditworthy counterparty has contracted to pay, that contract can carry finance. Empyrean structures facilities against awarded contracts, supply agreements and offtake.
Turning held instruments into usable liquidity.
Assessment and structuring around bank instruments and receivable assets, with a candid read on what is actually monetizable and what is not.
Process
Four stages. A file's position is stated at each one, including when the answer is no.
The transaction, amount, tenor, counterparties and available security are assessed for whether the structure holds together as presented.
If it is workable, an indicative structure sets out amount, tenor, security, and the conditions that would have to be satisfied.
Documentation, counterparty and security review, in parallel with funder engagement. This is where most timetables are won or lost.
Final documentation, conditions precedent, and drawdown against the agreed schedule.
Empyrean arranges and structures; capital is provided by funders and institutions. Nothing here is a commitment to arrange or provide finance.
