Live from Melbourne, this seminar tackles a question that now sits at the centre of every private credit deal: What is the exit strategy?
In today’s market, weak or assumed exits are one of the biggest reasons transactions stall, get repriced, or collapse late in the process.
This session brings together a lender, a valuer, and a restructuring specialist to unpack:
- What makes an exit pathway credible
- Where brokers commonly overestimate refinance options
- The reality of asset recoverability
- When private credit supports a turnaround, and when it simply delays it
- How to avoid equity erosion in stressed situations
For brokers and SME advisers operating in complex funding scenarios, this is a practical, real-world discussion on protecting value in challenging conditions.
