DEFINING THE NEW CAPITAL MARKETS FINANCING PARADIGM
After a period of gridlock, the lending market is slowly returning. Yet this is not the lending market of yesterday. A majority of past lenders have disappeared and those that have returned are lending under a revised set of guidelines which can be challenging for borrowers to accept. In addition, a new variety of lenders have entered the market. Who are these lenders and what are their rules? This panel will explore how borrowers can successfully access both old and new sources of capital and how they can best position themselves to qualify for financing in the new capital markets paradigm.
