BALC: Expertise in Financial Markets

“BUSINESS ALLIANCE” has long experience in the financial market (over RUB 80 billion raised from 2006 to 2008) and always welcomes new financial partnership .

Our target is to make the most successful combination of a professional leasing company and bank team in order to drag bank funds into big-ticket and SME leasing deals. 

BALC uses a wide spectrum of financial tools:

• Bank loans including: syndicated loans, club-deals, cooperation with ECAs, trade finance, etc;
• Funding from NBFC;
• Russian bonds;
• Securitized bonds;
• Public loans;
• Supplier’s credit, etc.

“BUSINESS ALLIANCE” cooperates with several Russian and foreign banks and particularly with:

• Bank of Moscow (Russia)
• Vneshekonombank (Russia)
• Absolut Bank (Russia)
• Bank ZENIT (Russia) 
• Marfin Laiki Bank (Cyprus)
• VTB Bank (Russia), VTB Bank (Austria) AG, VTB Bank (Deutschland) AG
• Standard Bank PLC (UK)
• IB Otkritie (Russia)
• GLOBEXBANK (Russia)
• SDM Bank (Russia)
• Khanty-Mansiiskiy Bank (Russia)
• Russian bank for development (Russia)
• “DERZHAVA” Bank (Russia)

In 2007 “BUSINESS ALLIANCE” successfully issued RUB 8.3 billion securitized Eurobonds at a coupon of 8.875% p.a. with a 5-year tenancy. It was the first time that Eurobonds were arranged to finance a Russian leasing company that was carrying out a transaction and really working on an infrastructure energy project. As a result, the position of the leasing company is better secured in terms of VAT.
