PREPARING THE CORPORATION FOR RAISING INTERNATIONAL FINANCING

Abstract

This article is dedicated to the overview of the preparation process for raising international corporate financing from the syndicated loans, eurobonds and equity capital markets. The main stages of this process include: selecting and appoint banks, conducting the SWOT-analysis of financial instruments, structuring and planning the transaction. For the optimal selection of banks, the corporation prepares special documents, based on which the competitive analysis of banks is conducted and they are then appointed by the means of the mandate letter. The key role in the process of determining the tools for raising international financing is played by the analysis of strengths and weaknesses of syndicated loans, eurobonds and equity placements. During the structuring and planning of the transaction, the goal of the financial top-managers is to find the optimal point between the needs of the corporation and the current conditions and opportunities in the international capital markets. The paper concludes that the preparation process plays an important role in the subsequent raising of financing from the international capital markets.
