Overview

Rescue and DIP (debtor-in-possession) financing is new money advanced to a stressed or insolvent company to fund a turnaround, a restructuring or a going-concern sale — typically senior, tightly controlled and often with priority. Matchpoint arranges rescue and interim financing for companies, sponsors and administrators across the UK and UAE, from specialist lenders comfortable with distress.

As part of our Debt practice, Matchpoint Partners has originated and led $2+ billion of transactions across four continents — and every debt mandate is led by a partner, from first call to close.
