Joint Venture Finance
Integrated debt and equity funding packages for strategic partnerships.
Joint ventures enable businesses, investors, and developers to pool resources, expertise, and capital to pursue opportunities that would be difficult or impossible to achieve independently. The funding structure must reflect the commercial agreement between the parties while being acceptable to external lenders and investors.
Aberdeen Corporate Finance has extensive experience in structuring and arranging finance for joint venture transactions. We ensure the debt funding aligns with the JV agreement, the profit-sharing arrangements are commercially balanced, and the overall structure is bankable and robust.
Joint Venture Structures
Equity Joint Ventures
Partners contribute equity in agreed proportions, sharing profits and risks according to their investment. We arrange the debt funding alongside the equity structure, ensuring the overall package is bankable and commercially balanced.
Property Development JVs
One of the most common JV structures in commercial finance. Typically a landowner contributes the site while a developer provides expertise and manages the build. We structure the development finance to reflect the JV agreement and profit-sharing arrangements.
Strategic Partnerships
Where two businesses combine complementary capabilities to pursue opportunities neither could address alone. We arrange funding that supports the partnership objectives while protecting the interests of all parties.
Investor & Operator Structures
A financial investor provides the capital while an operational partner manages the business or project. Common in hospitality, care homes, and property investment. We structure the finance to align the interests of both parties.
Consortium Arrangements
Multiple parties come together to fund and deliver a large-scale project. We coordinate the funding across all consortium members, ensuring the legal structure, security arrangements, and profit-sharing mechanisms are commercially robust.
JV Legal Frameworks
We work with your solicitors to ensure the JV agreement, shareholder agreement, and funding documentation are fully aligned. Key provisions include deadlock resolution, exit mechanisms, and drag/tag-along rights.
Key Success Factors
Important Notice: Joint venture structures involve complex legal and financial arrangements. Professional legal and tax advice is essential. All funding is subject to funder criteria. Aberdeen Corporate Finance Limited is not regulated by the FCA.
