Commercial Debt Advisory
Lender Introductions for Business Financing
You do not need “a lender list.” You need the right lender for your exact deal, contacted the right way, with a file that underwrites.
Financely provides paid lender introductions for commercial borrowers and deal sponsors, paired with packaging and a managed term sheet workflow.
This is commercial only. No personal loans. No consumer credit.

What “Lender Introductions” Means in Practice
A real introduction is not a forwarded email.
We map your request to lender mandates, structure the positioning, prepare the lender package, and introduce your file to matched credit funds and specialty lenders
who actually quote on deals like yours.
You get a controlled process aimed at written term sheets and a clear path to close.
Reality:
lenders ignore messy inbound requests.
If the credit story is unclear, documents are missing, or the ask does not fit the mandate, you will get silence, not offers.
Typical Use Cases
Acquisition and Sponsor Deals
- Small business acquisitions and lower middle market buyouts
- Independent sponsor deals with identified equity
- LOI or signed purchase agreement situations
We translate the deal into lender language: sources and uses, leverage, collateral, covenants, and closing conditions.
Commercial Real Estate
- Bridge loans and transitional assets
- Refinancing, maturity solutions, recapitalizations
- Construction, preferred equity, and gap capital (case dependent)
We focus on sponsor profile, cash flow, business plan, DSCR, and lender protections.
Asset-Based and Working Capital
- Receivables and inventory-backed facilities
- Equipment loans and sale-leasebacks
- Borrowing base and revolvers
For trade-oriented files, start with trade finance fundamentals.
Trade and Project Finance
- Commodity flow finance (case dependent)
- Project finance capital raising and structured debt
- Credit enhancement and bank instruments where appropriate
If an instrument is required, see our SBLC guide.
What You Get When You Pay for Introductions
| Deliverable |
What it includes |
Why it matters |
| Fit screen and lender mapping |
We qualify the ask, identify realistic structures, and map lenders by mandate, ticket size, geography, collateral, and risk appetite. |
Stops wasted outreach and prevents reputation damage with lenders. |
| Lender-ready package |
Clear narrative, sources and uses, collateral and security summary, and a data room structure that lenders can actually review. |
Lenders price risk. They need clean inputs fast. |
| Introductions to matched lenders |
Targeted outreach to relevant credit funds and specialty lenders with your package, plus structured follow-up to obtain term sheets. |
Introductions without packaging usually die on contact. |
| Term sheet workflow |
We manage Q&A, coordinate diligence sequencing, and keep the process moving toward a close. |
Most deals fail from drift, not from pricing. |
| Decision memo |
We summarize lender feedback, constraints, and next steps, including alternate structures when the first plan is not financeable. |
Gives you a documented path forward instead of vague “try again” advice. |
What We Require From You
We can move quickly when your file is real. Expect to provide a basic KYC pack, the commercial objective, and enough documentation to underwrite the request.
If you are early, that is fine, but we will scope the service around what can be supported in writing.
Minimum inputs
- Entity and ownership details for KYC
- Financials or operating metrics
- Transaction documents or a clear summary
- Collateral overview and existing debt
- Target size, timing, and use of proceeds
Common deal killers
- Unclear use of proceeds or shifting stories
- No evidence of repayment capacity
- Hidden broker chains and unknown principals
- Unsupported ticket size relative to the business
- Missing documents paired with urgent timelines
