Super-Senior Rescue Bridge & Accelerated M&A
We raise priming or super-senior rescue capital to stop cash bleed, then run a targeted sale or carve-out inside 6 to 10 weeks. The structure may combine a bridge with ABL, receivables, repo, or sale-leaseback to stabilize operations before signing the SPA.
The bridge is sized to milestones, not wishful thinking. We set minimum liquidity, borrowing-base tests, and reporting cadence. In parallel we red-line an SPA framework, secure consents, and curate a buyer list that can close. The whole plan is dated and tied to funds flow at closing.
Who This Helps
Borrowers & Operators
- Maturity walls or forbearance ends within 30 to 60 days.
- Supplier pressure and inventory at risk without fresh liquidity.
- Carve-outs where stranded costs must be contained pre-close.
Lenders & Credit Funds
- Agents seeking a defensible priming package and dated exit.
- Funds that will backstop a bridge if closing certainty is real.
- Buyers that value clean diligence, consents, and cash control.
