With Cash Sweeps you are able to use excess free cash flows to pay down outstanding debt and / or shareholder loans.

How do you use Cash Sweeps?

You can use Cash Sweeps for Debt and Shareholder Loan objects.

  1. Create a Debt object in the "Debt" section or create a Shareholder Loan in the "Transaction" section. If you want to use Cash Sweep for already created objects, click on it and choose "Edit".
  2. Enter the parameters like Name, Amount, Issuance Date, Loan Period and Interest. Activate the "Cash Sweep" checkbox (This function is not yet available for the Fixed Redemption Profile "Annuity").
