"in the case of" vs "with"

I found the following synonyms for the preposition concerning at Thesaurus.com:

about, against, apropos, as for, as concerns, as regards, as to, concerned with, connected with, dealing with, in reference to, referring to, regarding, relating to, relative to, respecting, touching, touching on, toward.

I guess you are right, if "loans" is the subject of the sentence. It would indeed sound very artificial to say "As for loans, they are ..."

"As to loans, the company was able to negogiate a better solution".

I am basically looking for the most elegant phrase: "as to" sounds pretty good to me. What do you think?

Thanks for
