Experienced Debt Funding Advice.
Built Around the Client.
ALTOCREST ADVISORYAltocrest Advisory was established to provide entrepreneurial businesses with high-quality, independent debt funding advice.
We combine lender-side credit experience with senior debt advisory expertise, helping management teams, shareholders and investors navigate the funding market with clarity and confidence.
A Specialist Debt Advisory Firm.
Altocrest was founded with a simple objective: to provide entrepreneurial businesses with the level of debt funding advice more commonly associated with larger corporate transactions.
For many businesses, raising debt funding is a significant event. It may involve funding an acquisition, completing a management buyout, refinancing an existing lender or securing additional capital to support growth.
In each case, the funding structure can have a meaningful impact on the future of the business.
Our approach is therefore built around understanding the business first, developing the right funding strategy and managing the process properly from start to finish.
We do not simply introduce lenders.
We advise clients on how much debt is appropriate, how the funding should be structured, which lenders are most suitable and how the opportunity should be positioned to achieve the strongest possible outcome.
Experience on Both Sides of the Lending Relationship.

202414+ years across banking, credit and debt advisory.
Altocrest is led by Danyal Khan, who has more than 14 years of experience across banking, credit and debt advisory.
Danyal began his career within HSBC's credit team, assessing lending proposals and gaining first-hand experience of how banks make lending decisions.
He subsequently joined Royal Bank of Canada before spending six years within EY's Debt Advisory team, latterly as a Director.
During his career, Danyal has advised management teams, shareholders and investors across a wide range of debt funding transactions.
This combination of lender-side and adviser-side experience is central to Altocrest's approach today.
We understand not only what a business wants to achieve, but also how a lender is likely to assess the opportunity and what will ultimately be required to secure credit approval.
