Hi all, Looking for recommendations on senior lenders for an active deal. Specifically focused on: Near-term need: Revolving line of credit at close (working capital facility to support AR / inventory purchasing) Down the road: Potential term debt for tuck-in M&A and growth capex Deal profile: US-based target, headquartered in the Southeast Specialty manufacturing / project-based services business EBITDA in the $2-5M range Mix of reoccurring base business plus some project revenue Asset-light with solid FCF conversion Sponsor: Independent sponsor with institutional PE background; junior capital and equity partner already lined up (fully committed capital in place to consummate the platform transaction) What I'm looking for: Banks IS-friendly partners - no fund-level guarantee required Comfort with project-based revenue and working capital swings Ability to scale with the platform as we execute tuck-ins Particularly interested in lenders who understand the IS model and have flexibility for deals where cash flow is solid but the absolute leverage quantum is modest. Thanks in advance!

Would like to learn more. SBA could be a consideration, however we have over 75 different lenders so a combination effort could be possible. redacted
