Corporate bonds, as a source of financing, provide tangible benefits to companies, while listing on the ASO Catalyst (Alternative Trading System) increases the investment attractiveness of bonds and the company recognition. Due to their conditions flexibility and the fact that bond placement is a relatively quick process, corporate bonds offer a valid alternative to bank financing. In cases of private, unsecured bond offering, the time for raising capital by the company may amount to 4-6 weeks.
Benefits of bond issue:
- diversification of funding sources – an additional source of capital
- the leverage effect
- independence from bank financing
- no loss of control over the company
- flexibility of conditions in relation to bank financing
- possibility of issuing unsecured bonds
- relatively short period of raising capital
The benefits of bond trading on ASO Catalyst:
- access to a wider range of investors
- current valuation of financial instrument for investors
- increased credibility and transparency of the company
- facilitating capital raising in the future – also in the form of a share issue
- limited disclosure obligations
- company promotion and growth of prestige
- the possibility of trading bonds issued by Sp. z o.o. (limited company) and SKA
