In detail
Since 2008, corporate mini bonds have retained their popularity, with the market for both potential investors and those companies offering bonds diversifying; most recently bonds offered by a number of fast food chains have been popular investments and market conditions indicate this will continue during the next financial year.
That makes it a quicker way to raise funds, and also allows for companies to be more flexible in what they offer investors as a return. For example, we acted for The Jockey Club, whose mini-bond raised millions from investors by offering them a mixture of cash and reward points. The advantage is that corporate mini-bonds are often more attractive to investors, can be set up more quickly than listed bonds or equity raises and can also be a great way to raise your company’s profile, as well as cash.
Brands, sports clubs, and profitable companies with a “following or fanbase” – our team will advise on how you could access a faster, easier route to finance.
