Private Capital

When the bank isn't the answer, structure still is.

Some situations need speed, flexibility or a lender who sees past a rigid credit box. Private and specialty capital can be the right tool — but only with the discipline to use it well. We bring both the access and the judgment.

The Problem

Private capital is powerful — and easy to misuse.

Non-bank capital fills real gaps: timing, complexity, transition. But without structure and a clear exit, it can become expensive and hard to unwind. The difference between a smart bridge and a costly trap is advisory discipline.

Strategic Considerations

What we weigh on private capital.

The exit

How and when the facility is repaid — defined up front.

True cost

The all-in cost against the value of speed or flexibility.

Fit

Whether private capital is genuinely the right tool here.

Security

What is pledged, and how the borrower is protected.

Term & flexibility

Matching duration to the situation, not the lender.

Transition

The path back to conventional capital where relevant.

Capital Options

Types of private capital.

Bridge finance

Short-term capital to a defined sale, refinance or event.

Mezzanine finance

Filling the gap between senior debt and equity.

Specialty lending

Funding for complex assets or situations.

Private term debt

Non-bank term facilities with more flexibility.

Asset-backed private capital

Lending against property, equipment or receivables.

Situational capital

Funding for transitions, turnarounds and one-off needs.

Our Advisory Role

We bring access and discipline in equal measure.

We maintain relationships across private and specialty lenders — but our first job is to confirm private capital is the right answer, structure it properly and define the exit before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Private capital, answered.

Isn't private lending expensive?

It can be — and sometimes that cost is well worth paying for speed or flexibility a bank can't offer. Our role is to weigh the true all-in cost against the value it unlocks, and to make sure there is a clear exit.

When does private capital make sense?

When timing, complexity or a rigid credit box rules out conventional lenders — and when there is a defined path to repay or refinance. It is a tool for specific situations, not a default.

What is a bridge, exactly?

Short-term capital that carries you to a defined event — a sale, a refinance, a completion. The key is that the exit is clear and realistic before you draw it.

Can you move quickly?

Yes. Speed is often the point of private capital, and our preparation and relationships are built to compress timelines — without skipping the discipline.

Will I be stuck in expensive debt?

Not if it is structured properly. We define the exit and transition to conventional capital from the start, so the facility is a bridge, not a destination.
