“We look at every transaction through the eyes of both the credit committee and the board.”

— Yusuf Nigri, Founder

Our approach

An adviser who knows both sides of the table.

We know how credit and investment committees approach a request — what they look at and which questions they ask. We build your file to answer those questions in advance, and we stay involved after the deal closes.

  1. I

    The right match

    We match your company or investment project with the bank, fund or investor that suits its scale and nature.

  2. II

    Committee language

    Every file is prepared complete and verifiable, in the format a credit or investment committee expects.

  3. III

    To closing and beyond

    Our advice does not end with a report. We take the deal to closing, then keep working to ensure the finance provided is used effectively and for its intended purpose. The trust of the institutions providing finance underpins every structure we build.

  4. IV

    Confidentiality

    Every transaction runs under a confidentiality agreement; information is shared only with those the transaction requires.

Expertise & track record

First at the bank's table, then at the company's.

Our founder Yusuf Nigri spent ten years at Türkiye İş Bankası A.Ş. preparing corporate credit files for the bank's credit approval authorities, and took part in M&A processes, working on buy-side financing and valuation. He then spent ten years as a private-sector CFO, leading corporate transformation, digitalisation and the preparation of a company for sale alongside financing management. Nigri Advisory grew out of these two experiences: a boutique advisory that understands the company's needs, knows which questions the finance provider will ask, and turns the transaction into a structure that works for both sides.
