// How we help

Good credit decisions depend on the same things on both sides of the table: a clear structure, an honest read of the risk, and terms that hold up over time. Leno's advisory team works with borrowers raising and reshaping credit, and with lenders underwriting and originating it — so we see the full picture and bring it to your side of the deal.


// Both sides

Independent advice, whichever side you're on

// For borrowers

Raise the right capital, on the right terms — and fix it when circumstances change.

Capital raising & debt advisory

We define your funding need, package the opportunity and connect you with the right lenders and credit funds.

Loan structuring & negotiation

We shape terms, covenants and security, then negotiate alongside you so the deal works long after signing.

Refinancing & restructuring

We review existing facilities and renegotiate or refinance them to cut cost, release pressure or extend runway.

Lender access

We open a network of banks, private credit funds and alternative lenders so you compare real options, not just one.

// For lenders

Underwrite, structure and grow a credit book with sharper risk insight.

Credit underwriting & due diligence

Independent assessment of borrowers, collateral and deal structure before you commit capital.

Risk assessment & credit scoring

We build and review scoring, pricing and risk frameworks so decisions are consistent and defensible.

Origination & portfolio growth

Support designing products and sourcing assets that fit your risk appetite and return targets.

Documentation & structuring

We help shape loan agreements, security and terms that protect your position and stand up to scrutiny.

// Why Leno Advisory

Sharper because we sit on both sides

We see both sides

Advising borrowers and lenders means we anticipate what the other party will accept.

Independent

We're paid to get you the best structure, not to push a single product.

Connected

Advice flows straight into servicing and securitisation when you need execution, not just a report.


// FAQ

Questions, answered

Do you advise borrowers, lenders, or both?
Both. We advise borrowers raising or restructuring debt and lenders underwriting and originating credit — though never both sides of the same transaction.
Do you provide the financing yourselves?
Yes — the group has its own credit capability. Through Leno Private Debt Sàrl in Luxembourg we lend directly to businesses, and we can also service and securitise the assets. Our advisory work, however, stays independent: we never advise and fund the same transaction.
What size of deal do you work on?
We work across a range of deal sizes. The best first step is a short call so we can understand the need and confirm we're the right fit.
