Apollo International Limited had the following business requirements:

Apollo International was looking for a 10-year term loan and assistance in preparing a financial model keeping the company projections and future repayments in mind.
The company was also looking to refinance a loan, for which they were paying a significantly high floating interest rate of 13.30% PA.

The Challenge

To grow its EPIC business, Apollo International needed to raise working capital, but the company needed help finding a lender willing to provide it on agreeable terms.

Time-consuming Processes: The credit underwriting process with different banks is tedious, with lengthy due diligence and time-consuming paperwork. Apollo international needed a quicker process to disburse the loan amount quickly.
Lack of Expert Guidance: To get the best solutions for Apollo international per their business needs, AIL needs an internal financial specialist who is knowledgeable about the debt markets and has lender connections.

The Solution

Apollo International needed a one-stop solution where they could connect with multiple lenders and be in a position to choose and negotiate terms.

After onboarding on the Yubi Loans platform, and once the deal was created, the following happened:

Apollo International had access to over 250 lenders on the Yubi loans platform, allowing them to find a lender who best suits their business.
The company received 11 expressions of interest, of which the company shortlisted 6 lenders.
The Yubi Loans team acted as a conduit for information to lenders, facilitating smooth communication at all stages of the loan process.

The Results

Apollo International was able to restructure its INR 25 crore loan at a 2% better interest rate. Additionally, team Yubi got the company a loan enhancement of INR 20 Cr. from the same lender.

Team Yubi is currently collaborating with the team at Apollo International to get another loan re-financed at a better interest rate.
