Referrals: Non-Traditional Lenders (Non-SBICs)

Working on a really interesting deal that's a bit unconventional. Looking for a non-traditional lender (non-SBICs since most employees are overseas) for a $10 million loan. There would also be an opportunity for the lender to invest in the equity as well.

Any recommendations?

Greg--my partner and I spent time negotiating with an asset light 3PL business earlier this year and the deal size (~$17mm) and credit check (~$10mm) were both on the large side for SBA lenders. It unfortunately fell through after we ironed out a good chunk of the LOI, but we ended up holding intro calls with ~20 LMM credit shops across unitranche, mezz and SBIC products. Feel free to DM me or reach out via email redacted and I can give you the full debrief.

Hi Greg, I can point you in the right direction for a good commercial broker, but it's tough to pin these down going door to door with lenders if you don't have a list to reach out to.
