Private Credit

Seeking flexible, non-bank capital to fund growth, acquisitions, or refinancing—without giving up equity?  Private credit and direct lending offer agile, customised debt solutions for sponsor-backed businesses that need speed and certainty in a competitive market. 

As businesses grow, traditional bank lending often fails to keep pace—offering rigid terms, slow approvals, and limited flexibility. For mid-market companies backed by private equity, VC, or public investors, private credit provides an alternative: fast, flexible, and non-dilutive funding.

Is Private Credit Right for You?

  • Your company is backed by private equity, venture capital, or public markets
  • You need bespoke debt financing beyond traditional bank options
  • Speed and certainty are critical to your growth or refinancing strategy
  • Preserving equity and capital structure optimisation are top priorities
  • You need a funding partner aligned with your ambitions and business model

What is Private Credit & Direct Lending? 

Private credit refers to debt capital provided by non-bank institutions, including direct lending funds. Direct lending involves loans made directly to businesses, bypassing traditional banks. These facilities typically sit alongside equity, supporting growth, acquisitions, or working capital needs.

Unlike conventional loans, private credit solutions are highly tailored—offering flexible terms, covenant light structures, and rapid execution. They may carry slightly higher pricing, but the trade-off is certainty, control, and agility.

Navigating the Private Credit Landscape 

While flexible, private credit requires careful structuring and lender selection. Interest terms, covenants, and repayment schedules must align with your growth plans and risk appetite. 

Finding the right partner—one who understands your business and has the ability to tailor solutions—is essential. Missteps in lender selection or structuring can result in delays or suboptimal outcomes.
