Questions about Private Credit insights

What signals predict a private credit refinance opportunity?+

Loan maturity inside 24 months on a bank credit facility, EBITDA growth outpacing revolver capacity, and a capex or acquisition pipeline that the incumbent bank will not support.

How does non-sponsor origination change unit economics?+

It shifts the pipeline toward proprietary deals where the lender structures on advice, capturing 100 to 200 bps of yield versus sponsor-shopped deals.

18 to 30 months before maturity, when the borrower is still weighing bank versus non-bank options.
