New Bond Structuring Support Programme
Empowering Sustainable and Social Finance
Ringstone Funding is pleased to launch a 12-month Bond Structuring Support Programme, developed in partnership with our legal and financial advisers to help clients establish ESG, social impact, and sustainable bond structures more efficiently.
This initiative makes the bond issuance process more accessible by spreading legal and advisory costs across the development period. The programme is highly subsidised, with our partners’ fees largely based on successful capital subscriptions, ensuring full alignment with client outcomes.
With documentation and approvals typically completed within 4–6 weeks, new bond issues can be live by January—well positioned for the peak investment cycle ahead of the 31 March financial year end.
Organisations focused on ESG bonds, social housing finance, or sustainable infrastructure funding are invited to contact Ringstone Funding to discuss how this framework can support your capital-raising, refinancing, or impact investment strategy.
