Read our story
In simple terms we are an infrastructure focused independent corporate finance specialist with a focus on Debt and M&A, with offices in London, Amsterdam and Paris. But our strengths go much further than that. We’re a business built on tenacity and ambition. The tenacity to challenge rigid methods and standard solutions. The ambition to offer our clients something distinctive and better.
Drawing on extensive experience in Renewable & Flexible Energy, Economic Infrastructure, Social Infrastructure and Digital Infrastructure, we have the knowledge and agility to uncover opportunities others don’t see. We continuously explore smarter ways to structure transactions so they deliver greater value – whichever side of the table you’re on.
Most importantly of all, we work at the centre, not the edge, of every transaction we are mandated on, managing the process from inception to financial close. Diligent, supportive and resourceful, we’re there with you – leaving no stone unturned to get the best possible deal done, to everyone’s satisfaction.
In the field of finance, the old saying that there’s ‘more than one way to skin a cat’ still holds true. Sadly, that’s not the view that many in our industry take. The result is an uninspiring way of working that fails to maximise opportunities or deliver real value.
We work differently. Utilising our vast experience, we aim to find smarter ways to fund and structure deals and debt financings to your best advantage. After all, isn’t that exactly what corporate finance specialists are supposed to do?
Going above and beyond
Introducing borrowers to lenders, buyers to sellers or sellers to buyers, is only part of the story. Success depends on bringing deals to fruition and timely execution. There’s a skill to that, which is where our experience and expertise comes in. Diligent and tenacious, we closely manage every deal we do: supporting, advising, negotiating and if required finding alternative solutions to ensure that each deal closes on time and on budget – leaving no stone unturned
We are pioneers in the development of both equity and debt financing solutions to the Renewable & Flexible Energy sector. As early as 2011, we structured and arranged the first ever solar bond, refinancing two UK ground mounted assets. Since then, we have worked with a large number of sponsors and developers, raising both equity and debt for different renewable & flexible energy technologies.
IDCM focuses on traditional infrastructure businesses such as rolling stock and rail, airports, ports and utilities as well as subsectors including district heating and smart meters.
We see strong demand for our Debt and M&A services in the digital infrastructure sector, where an exponential increase in demand for such services will require significant investment.
We work tirelessly to raise funding for borrowers that are able to offer investors certainty of income and have a socially responsible investment angle. Our pragmatic and ‘can do attitude’ has seen us deliver the first long dated institutional loan and the first private placement in the listed care home REIT sector.
With big ambitions and the highest standards.
Providing the best answers, not the easiest ones.
Backing-up what we say with clear evidence and specialist expertise.
Supporting our clients and each other, however tough it gets.
Drawing on our extensive experience and strong networks to find better solutions.
Going beyond the expected to offer something fresh and interesting.
