By the time you finish this article, you’ll know:

• What an EMTN programme is and why it has nothing to do with the euro (yes, really).
• The jargon you need to bluff your way through a meeting.
• How these programmes work, who’s involved, and why they make life easier for companies looking to raise cash.
• The good, the bad, and the ugly (spoiler: mostly good, unless you like wasting time and money).
