Madrid – Alantra has acted as sole financial advisor to Afianza Asesores, a leading Spanish professional services firm, on a €110mn, seven-year bullet unitranche financing provided by BlackRock.
Founded in 2001 and headquartered in Spain, Afianza Asesores is a high-value business advisory group offering comprehensive services across tax and accounting, labor advisory, legal, audit and consulting. The Group has established itself as a key player in the Spanish mid-sized professional services market, supported by sustained organic growth and an active consolidation strategy, having completed more than 55 integrations to date.
The financing has been structured entirely through debt and does not entail any change in the company’s shareholding structure. Proceeds will be used to refinance existing indebtedness and provide additional financial flexibility to support Afianza’s long-term growth strategy, including its acquisition-led expansion and the integration of portfolio companies. The final structure also incorporates a non-committed accordion facility to enable further funding as the platform continues to scale.
Alantra designed and executed a fast-track competitive process with a select group of institutional investors, leveraging its market access, senior-level relationships and deep product expertise to improve financing terms and fully align the debt package with the Group’s strategic objectives.
Javier Daza, Director at Alantra, said: “This transaction underscores the increasing institutional appetite for scaled professional services platforms in Spain and across Europe. We are pleased to have supported Afianza Asesores in securing a flexible and long-term financing solution that underpins its consolidation strategy and next phase of growth.”
This transaction further reinforces Alantra’s strong track record in Debt Advisory and Business Services, with recent mandates that include advising Groupe Factoria on the refinancing of its debt facilities with Kartesia and Eiffel Investment Group and Davidson Consulting Group on its financing strategy, alongside this unitranche financing for Afianza Asesores.
