Debt Advisory
We advise companies and sponsors on the full spectrum of debt financing — running competitive lender processes that deliver better pricing, more flexible terms, and higher certainty of close.
Overview
Debt advisory across the full credit spectrum.
Spike Capital's Debt Advisory practice helps companies and sponsors access institutional debt capital across the full credit spectrum. We bring deep relationships with direct lenders, credit funds, and specialty finance companies to every engagement.
Our process creates competitive tension among lenders, resulting in better pricing, more borrower-friendly terms, and higher execution certainty than a company could achieve independently.
Who We Work With
Operating Companies
Businesses seeking growth capital, acquisition financing, or balance sheet optimization.
PE-Backed Companies
Portfolio companies requiring new credit facilities, add-on financing, or refinancings.
Independent Sponsors
Deal-by-deal sponsors needing debt capital for platform acquisitions.
Growth-Stage Companies
Venture and growth-stage businesses accessing institutional debt for the first time.
Products & Solutions
Debt solutions across the credit spectrum.
Senior Secured Credit Facilities
Term loans and revolving credit facilities secured by company assets. We run competitive processes across direct lenders, credit funds, and specialty finance companies to achieve optimal pricing and covenant flexibility.
Bridge Financing
Short-term capital solutions that bridge a company from its current state to a longer-term financing event — acquisition close, refinancing, or equity raise.
Unitranche Debt
Single-tranche facilities that combine senior and subordinated debt into one instrument, simplifying the capital structure and reducing execution risk.
Asset-Based Lending
Revolving credit facilities secured by receivables, inventory, and other liquid assets. Ideal for companies with strong asset bases seeking flexible working capital.
Mezzanine / Subordinated Debt
Junior capital that sits between senior debt and equity — typically used to bridge the gap between senior debt capacity and required total capital.
Recapitalizations
Restructuring of a company's capital structure through new debt issuance — used to return capital to shareholders, fund growth, or optimize the balance sheet.
