Finance documents phase in loan transactions

Once the structure of the deal has been agreed and the term sheet agreed and signed, the parties will proceed to the key documentation phase of the transaction. This guidance note describes what is involved in this phase. For transactions with very tight deadlines, work may start on the key finance documents before a term sheet is signed. This phase will most likely be the longest phase in the transaction and could range from just a few weeks for a simple transaction to many months for complex transactions.
