Structured Credit

Financial engineering at your service

What is Structured Credit?

An in-depth look at the solution that is transforming financial management for companies.

Structured Credit is not just a conventional loan; it is a financial engineering solution designed to meet specific cash flow, investment, and debt restructuring needs of a company. Unlike traditional credit lines offered by large retail banks, which often have "closed packages" with rigid rates and inflexible conditions, structured credit analyzes your company's financial health, assets, and potential to create a unique operation.

At Maximo Conceito Advisory, we understand that every business has a distinct operational cycle. An industry, for example, may need a long grace period to import machinery and start production, while a retail company may need quick working capital to take advantage of seasonal stock opportunities. Structured Credit fills this gap, offering low-cost resources, often without abusive compound interest, based often only on fair administrative fees and contractual corrections.

This modality is "perfect for you to achieve your goals", as it allows the entrepreneur to have predictability. Upon contracting a structured operation, you know exactly how much you will pay, when you will pay, and how it will impact your budget, allowing for much more assertive long-term strategic planning.

How It Works and Main Key Benefits

Reduced Cost

One of the biggest advantages is the final cost of the operation. By avoiding traditional bank spreads, structured credit can offer significantly lower rates. In many cases, there is no monthly remunerative interest charge, only a fixed administrative fee, making the Total Effective Cost (CET) extremely competitive.

Terms and Grace Period

Flexibility is the keyword. We structure operations with terms that can reach 15 or 20 years, depending on the collateral and purpose. Additionally, we offer grace periods so your company has room to invest the capital and start seeing returns before beginning principal amortization.

Total Customization

There is no "one size fits all". The operation is designed considering your asset (property, receivables, contracts) and your repayment capacity. This allows leveraging amounts much higher than pre-approved limits at traditional banks, which often do not understand the real solidity of your business.

Doesn't Compromise Bank Limits

Many structured operations are done outside the traditional banking system (through Funds, FIDC, Securitizers), meaning they may not directly impact your revolving credit lines or short-term limits at banks where you already operate.

Use of Real Guarantees

By using properties, land, or machinery as collateral (Home Equity, Sale & Leaseback), we can drastically reduce risk for the investor, which translates for you into lower rates and longer terms. It is the smartest way to unlock the value of your fixed assets.

Legal Security

All operations are based on transparent contracts, registered and in total compliance with Brazilian legislation and Central Bank rules. Maximo Conceito values absolute transparency in every clause, ensuring peace of mind for all parties involved.

Consultancy

Who is it indicated for?

Structured Credit is versatile, but excels with specific company profiles and objectives:

  • Expanding Industries: Needing intensive capital for purchasing new plants or production lines.
  • Indebted Companies: Seeking to exchange expensive debt (overdrafts, guaranteed accounts) for healthy, cheaper, long-term debt.
  • Construction and Developers: For project funding and land acquisition (Land Banking).
  • Service and Retail Sector: Large retailers needing robust working capital for opening new branches.
  • Agribusiness: Producers seeking to finance harvest or modernize their machinery fleet.

If your company bills above R$ 500k/year and has assets (or receivables) that can be used as collateral, the chances of success in structuring a disadvantageous operation are very high.

Real Use Cases

See how our clients use Structured Credit in practice.

Liability Restructuring

A company with short-term bank debts paying 3% p.m. turned to Maximo Conceito. We structured a long-term operation with a rate of 0.9% p.m., paying off the banks and reducing the monthly financial cost by over 60%. This released immediate cash flow for the operation.

Acquisition of Competitor

A logistics client identified an opportunity to buy a smaller competitor. Traditional banks would take months to analyze. Via structured credit, we raised R$ 5 million in 30 days using the truck fleet as collateral, allowing the M&A.

Capital for Seasonal Stock

A retail chain needed to triple its stock for the year-end. Through a structured operation with future receivables guarantee (credit card), we anticipated the necessary amount with a much lower rate than automatic machine anticipation.

Expansion Projects (Greenfield)

Complete financing for the construction of a new factory unit, from earthworks to equipment purchase. 24-month grace period to start paying, ensuring the project's cash flow supports the debt.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is the difference from a common bank loan?

Common loans use standardized lines and automatic scoring. Structured Credit analyzes the "concrete case", accepts differentiated guarantees, and designs personalized payment flows, usually with lower costs.

2. Do I need to have a property to offer as collateral?

Not necessarily. Although properties (Home Equity) allow for the best rates and longest terms, we also structure operations with receivables guarantees, contracts, machinery, vehicles, and even personal guarantees (aval) depending on the company's solidity.

3. What is the timeframe for funds release?

The process is rigorous. Generally, between initial analysis, collateral inspection, and contract signing, the timeframe ranges from 15 to 45 days. For operations without real guarantees (Clean), it can be faster (7 to 15 days).

4. Can a company with name restrictions contract it?

Yes! Unlike banks that automatically block on the first flag, Structured Credit focuses on future payment capacity and collateral quality. Often, the goal of the credit is precisely to "clear" the company's name by paying off overdue debts.

5. What documents are needed for initial analysis?

Initially, we need the Balance Sheet/P&L of the last 2 years, recent revenue invoices, and debt list. With this, we can already issue a Term Sheet.
