| Debt Consolidation Financing |
Before you look for a
Debt Consolidation Financing, first determine if that's the service you need. According to Mike Kidwell, vice president and co-founder of the Rockville, Maryland-based comprehensive financial crisis center Myvesta.org
(www.my vesta.org), Debt Consolidation Financing are for people who are behind on their bills. He says, "It's not a program that you can join for added convenience or just to attain a lower monthly payment or reduced interest rate." That said, Kevin Thomas, president of American Debt Consolidation Inc., a nonprofit credit-counseling agency in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, suggests that you choose a nonprofit company because "creditors tend to offer nonprofits better terms than for-profit corporations."
Ask any general partner these days about how receptive the debt market is toward financial sponsors and you're likely to receive a grunt or an exasperated sigh followed by a few choice words - often times not fit for print - on how tough it is to get debt financing for their deals. Indeed, the debt market has seemingly retrenched within the last year, leaving GPs scrambling for financing on acquisitions. When last we explored the debt market, lenders were reportedly "finicky as felines" when it came to
Debt Consolidation Financing deals in the middle market. This choosiness forced sponsors to become more disciplined in purchase price multiples and to pump more equity into deals for less return. Banks are also not willing to lend against pro forma or forward-looking projections, which means lenders are applying a lower debt-to-cash flow multiple for companies that have failed to meet projections.
Furthermore, consolidation among key players such as BT Alex. Brown and Deutsche Bank, and Fleet Financial Group Inc. and BancBoston Corp., and the most recent merger between Chase Manhattan Bank and J.P. Morgan & Co. has limited competition and given existing players more choices in financing deals. Sources say senior lenders are willing to lend at a multiple of 3.25 times earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), which is a decrease of one point from as little as a year ago. They also say regardless of the industry, total leveraged multiples have dropped between a quarter of a turn to a full turn. Industry observers point to consolidation among competitors to explain the current conservative lending environment. Industry sources also say the scrutiny of the Office of Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and the Federal Reserve have served to make banks more conscious of the type of credit they're willing to lend.
