Capital Equipment |
Capital equipment financing transactions often take the form of a lease; finance or operating lease, which is either a domestic or cross-border lease, on or off-balance sheet for both new and used equipment.
Meridian’s principals have developed and refined over three decades a lease structure that ensures the legal, tax and economic “ownership” elements associated with the equipment are allocated in a manner that optimises the benefits for all the relevant stakeholders. This structure is extremely flexible as it allows debt facilities to be refinanced at any stage of the lease.
Meridian has considerable experience in originations, arranging and managing large lease financings.

Refinancing / Restructuring |
Cognisant of the dynamic commercial environment, we endeavour to stay in touch with how a client’s financial objectives change over time. Initially, we cater for this by structuring our transactions in a manner that maximises the flexibility to change its arrangements in the future.
If this need arises, Meridian will actively assist our clients with implementing any restructure and or refinancing of its existing funding arrangements to ensure their financing objectives are better satisfied.
