$15.4M Specialty Asset Financing Secured for Gulfstream Jet Acquisition

Client: Leading Aerospace Technology Firm Loan Amount: CAD 15,400,000 Asset: Gulfstream G280 Business Jet

We were approached by an aerospace technology firm aiming to acquire a Gulfstream G280 valued at CAD 22 million. Despite strong cash flows, traditional lenders were reluctant to provide financing at the required high loan-to-value ratio, as the client needed to preserve working capital for ongoing R&D.

We structured a $15.4 million private financing solution (70% LTV) at 8% fixed, secured by a first-charge lien on the aircraft plus corporate guarantees tied to the borrower’s aerospace assets. This bespoke specialty asset financing approach allowed the client to meet acquisition timelines without compromising liquidity.

Our team coordinated aircraft appraisal, maintenance review, and comprehensive financial due diligence to accelerate approval.

The client successfully completed the acquisition on schedule, retained liquidity for critical operations, and leveraged the aircraft to expand charter and executive travel services. With the aircraft in operation, they now have a clear path to refinance into longer-term asset financing at more competitive rates.

This case underscores Syndicate Lending's expertise in delivering specialty asset financing solutions—balancing growth capital needs with strategic acquisitions through tailored private financing structures.
