Bespoke lending solutions for advisors, lenders, and institutions

At Henry Dannell Switzerland, we serve as a trusted partner supporting professional advisors, institutions, and lending entities with bespoke property and asset financing solutions tailored to your clients’ needs.

Professional advisors and institutions

We act as a trusted partner to global organisations providing professional services to private clients, including private banks, family offices, trust companies, wealth managers, tax advisors, legal professionals, and property experts.

Our specialist lending solutions extend beyond traditional advisory scopes, integrating seamlessly with your practice to deliver tailored, competitive, and client-focused outcomes. Our approach reinforces and preserves the trust you have built, ensuring that every client engagement upholds your high standard of service.

Lending institutions

We partner with private credit providers, funding lines, and private banks, delivering value through strategic alignment and carefully matched client introductions.

Our expertise ensures that the clients we introduce align seamlessly with your credit risk appetite, enhancing opportunities and fortifying your portfolio. For cases that fall outside your standard remit, whether due to complexity, unique requirements, or lending thresholds, we provide bespoke solutions that maintain the highest standards of discretion and service.

Additionally, we collaborate with lending institutions to develop and refine credit risk policy, ensuring your offering remains competitive in an evolving market. Leveraging our deep industry relationships and decades of experience, we support the expansion of your lending solutions, enabling you to meet diverse financial needs with confidence and care.

Our expertise, approach, and partnerships

Our expertise

We specialise in solving complex global property and asset financing challenges, structuring bespoke solutions for non-standard, high-value, and intricate cases that require a strategic, nuanced approach.

Our approach

Navigating specialist financing demands more than just expertise; it requires access to a trusted network and the ability to present cases in unparalleled detail in a way that appeals to that particular lending institution’s credit appetite. With decades of experience and established relationships with financial institutions, we create tailored strategies that align with overall client objectives.

Our partnerships

We collaborate with family offices, trust companies, wealth managers, tax advisors, legal professionals, and property specialists, providing customised and competitive lending solutions.

Additionally, we partner with private banks and credit providers, matching them with clients whose profiles align with their credit risk policy and addressing complex cases that fall outside their standard scope of lending.

Services

Structure. Advise. Deliver.

We partner exclusively with advisers and institutions to support their clients’ complex borrowing needs. Whether it’s property-backed finance or facilities secured against investment portfolios, corporate structures, or alternative assets, we provide independent, cross-border expertise in structured lending.

Our role is to enhance your client relationship, offering clarity, structure, and execution in scenarios that sit beyond the scope of your offering.

We do not lend or distribute financial products. We act solely as specialists, working alongside you to deliver tailored outcomes with precision and discretion.
