Refinance opportunity
1 live charge · oldest 1.7y
10/100
under pressure
Refinance would be pressure-driven, not opportunity-driven. Expect tighter margins and covenant scrutiny.
- · Newest facility, 1.7 years old — likely still in initial term.
- · Single lender — cleanest path to refinance.
- · Cashflow trend is negative — lender view likely cautious.
