What does Bci AF mean?

Bci AF is a Bci corporate subsidiary specialized in the areas of corporate finance and / or investment banking offering financial advisory services such as project financing and assessment, and corporate restructuring. Also economic valuations, purchase-sale of either companies or assets, etc. These advisory services will be provided in accordance with the company requirements and are available both for Bci clients and for those who are not.


How can you operate through Bci AF?

So as to operate with Bci AF and taking into account that it is a specialized area within the Bci corporation you need to go directly to our offices located on Miguel Cruchaga Street 1161, 11th floor, Santiago. Or else contact our executives by calling (56-2) 540 4291 or faxing (56-2) 540 5807.


How much are the Bci AF services costs?

There is no pre set cost for them considering that they are tailor made services. Therefore the fees charged will largely depend on the requirements and characteristics the consultancy implies. The regular fee structure will be divided into a fixed charge in all possible cases, for the necessary case study research to be previously done, and a variable fee depending on the successful outcome of the transaction (sale, financing granting, etc.)


Which steps do I have to take to hire the advisory services?

The steps to be taken are the following: to hold a first interview so as to have an overall picture of the topic to be handled and the goals set by the client to the consultancy. Bci AF defines if the requested service applies within its scope of work, together with evaluating the potential success of the services in question. Bci AF puts forward a written proposal of the work to be fulfilled specifying its stages, deadlines, costs, and / or information and date requested, among others. Once we have reached consensus on the previously mentioned points with the client, the advisory is started.


What would Bci´s participation be when financing or financial restructuring is required as a result of Bci AF advisory?

Any advisory requesting the participation of Bci, be it of a financing or refinancing nature, is entirely subject to prior credit analysis and eventual approvals. If the bank rejects the requested loan our services will not be likely to proceed. We are not entitled to seek for financing in other banks representing our clients, having our bank previously rejected an operation.


What businesses amount would justify a financial advisory?

Considering the fact that each client´s case is very specific, we need to hold a previous meeting so as to have a very detailed picture of the operation to be carried out and then decide on the feasibility of an advisory service of this kind.


Does Bci AF advise individuals on investments?

This subsidiary does not provide for investment advisory services such as those related to shares, mutual funds, and others. Bci stockbrokers and Bci Mutual Funds have specialized on handling these financial products in corporate subsidiaries
