Context

The partner

Group with decades of experience in auto credit, offering refinancing and renegotiation to individuals and businesses, a negotiation marketplace and its own sales channel.

The challenge: scale to attract senior capital

A collateralized portfolio with a track record, but not yet at the scale needed to attract senior quotaholders to the vehicle.

Key decisions

  1. Cap LTV against the FIPE reference price table

    Financed amount kept below the vehicle’s value

  2. Make staggered monthly subscriptions up to a target level

    Capital follows the portfolio actually originated

  3. Open the senior raise only once that level is reached

    Approach senior investors with scale and a track record
