Introduction

The firm was established with the clear understanding that the financing needs of private equity investors have evolved significantly in recent years

TS Advisory takes a hybrid approach: leading complex financing transactions where needed, while providing targeted advisory for deals managed in-house. This allows investors to leverage TS Advisory’s expertise, maintain control where desired and execute transactions efficiently

This approach fosters partnerships and ensures seamless, results-driven outcomes

Debt advisory services for mid-market investors

TS Advisory’s service offering includes:

Buy-side financing advisory – end-to-end support in raising acquisition financing

Financing consultancy – targeted expertise or acting as a strategic partner alongside your deal team

What can you expect:

Client-focused

Undivided attention from project intake to completion, ensuring personalized guidance, timely decision-making and outcomes aligned with your strategic objectives

Strategic engagement

Focused on engaging with the most relevant lenders, financial modeling and negotiating commercial grids and facilities agreements, in each case tailored to align with your strategic goals, minimizing sponsor and senior management involvement

Efficient execution

Drawing on long-standing connections with 50+ lenders and leading law firms to deliver smooth execution and efficient documentation processes, fostering clarity and coherence throughout

Exceptional value

Making high-quality debt advisory accessible across the lower to upper Benelux mid-market, TS Advisory leads complex financing transactions with pricing tailored to the scope and complexity of each engagement

I am committed to providing advice and guidance to clients from project inception through to completion, ensuring continuity and securing the best possible financing.
