Frequently asked questions from executives

🔸 Can a loan that’s already signed really be renegotiated?
Yes—provided you bring strong arguments (changes in financial situation, market benchmarks, strategic projects). Banks are open to discussion if the request is well-prepared.

🔸 Do I need a specific reason to renegotiate?
Not necessarily. But a clear objective (e.g., lowering repayments, financing capex, consolidating debt) strengthens the case.

🔸 Is renegotiation seen as a negative signal by banks?
Not if it’s anticipated and well framed. A proactive renegotiation can actually enhance a leader’s financial credibility.

Yes—and it’s often recommended to optimize the entire debt portfolio. PrestaFlex supports clients in global or step-by-step restructurings.

🔍 Why renegotiate a corporate loan?

Renegotiating a business loan can help to:

  • Reduce the cost of debt (rates, margins, fees)
  • Ease repayment schedules to relieve cash flow
  • Extend financing duration to realign with the company’s growth plan
  • Adapt covenants or contractual clauses to the company’s economic reality
  • Consolidate multiple credit lines into one clearer facility

💡 When does it make sense to renegotiate?

Certain situations should alert an executive or CFO:

  • Rising interest rates impacting financial charges
  • A new phase of growth or investment
  • Temporary or recurring cash flow tensions
  • Evolution of the business model or change in ownership
  • End of grace or interest-only periods
