Asset backed opportunitiesUnlike the cumbersome institutional credit banking system, Berkeley Square Partners isn’t constrained by certain bureaucratic processes and other formulaic financing criteria that were enforced in the global credit system since the 2008 recession crisis. Heightened caution amongst lenders caused them to de-risk their lending criteria, meaning businesses have had to seek alternative methods for raising funds. Hence, the evolution of loan notes and debt-based financial instruments to fund new projects began.
