Sérvulo advises Raize and Flexdeal on €100M SME bonds
Sérvulo & Associados is advising Raize and Flexdeal on the structuring, arrangement and placement of a series of grouped bond issuances by SMEs, backed by a public guarantee from Banco Português de Fomento (BPF), for a total value of €100 million.
The grouped issuances are structured and aggregated by Flexdeal, and will be carried out exclusively through the crowdfunding platform managed by Raizecrowd. Raize IP is responsible for the settlement of subscription and transfer transactions.
According to Sérvulo, the transaction marks the first grouped issuance operation with a public guarantee in Portugal, representing a significant development in SME financing through the capital markets. The BPF public guarantee is designed to facilitate SME access to bond financing on more favourable terms, contributing to the diversification of funding sources for Portuguese businesses.
