Article Abstract:
The Bank of Scotland (BoS) has opened a structured finance unit in Frankfurt, Germany, in 1998. BoS previously established an office in Paris in 1996 and the expansion plan is part of the bank's European strategy in the acquisition debt market. BoS wants to provide a banking service for structuring buyout debts on the Continent and to work alongside UK venture capitalists. The German market is an important growth area in the buyout sector of 1998 and BoS believes its Frankfurt office will place it at the heart of the industry.
