Strategic Capital Solutions Gets Top Marks Despite Turbulent Credit Markets



    Strategic Capital Solutions, LLC (SCS) is delighted to announce the closing of a £7.85m financing package for a leading owner of UK education centers serving multiple locations across the United Kingdom´s most affluent regions. No further details regarding the transaction were disclosed.

    "The current market provides exceptional opportunities for investing in industry leaders," says Edward Mehrfar, Senior Managing Director of New York based SCS. "The borrower is setting new standards in education and multisite management, in a currently fragmented and underserved sector. We are thrilled to have assisted with its growth, especially considering the current credit crisis."

    The transaction has been completed despite a debt market in turmoil, the onset of recession, European banks becoming part or wholly nationalized, and liquidity and credit issues making new debt almost impossible to secure.

    Leo Davis, Managing Director of the SCS London office believes that closing transactions during this time speaks highly of SCS´ commitment to facilitating sponsors with first class opportunities who require credit. "Instability in financial markets has created unprecedented uncertainty, and therefore opportunity. SCS is poised for significant activity in the near future and throughout 2009, in the UK and West and Central Europe. We are seeking to support investment in well priced, income or near income producing, real estate opportunities with realistic medium term exits."
