Debt Financing in France? or Western Europe?

January 24, 2025

Hello Everyone,

I am a very new member, only gathering my thoughts about which geography (between Canada, Spain, France) would make sense for me to start my search. One of the determining factors would be debt financing options. I lack even the terminology of what I need to ask the banks to link me to the right person to give me the correct answer. Any help regarding a bank in France or Western Europe who has experience with searchers or any help from anyone who has the knowledge regarding the matter will be so very much appreciated.

Thanks in Advance,
Yasaman

I'm dual based in both Canada and France. While I'm now in a totally different sector (commodity imports/exports) and not so much on the M&A side these days, I would somehow suggest France might have a slightly better market for debt financing than Canada. I would suggest reaching out to organisations like FranceInvest, BPI France and some private firms like I&S Adviser and just see if you can have a generalist information exchange with them, just to get the ball rolling.

Thank you so much for your comment. I would like to meet with people with experience in the field. So, if you are around, I'd be happy to meet over lunch or coffee.
