What We Cover in Private Credit
Deal Screening & Opportunity Assessment
Rapidly assessing potential private credit opportunities through borrower profiles, sector context, leverage review, business model quality, and initial risk-return assessment. We help investment teams prioritize opportunities before committing deeper diligence bandwidth.
Borrower & Business Due Diligence
Analyze borrower fundamentals, revenue drivers, customer concentration, margin stability, working capital intensity, cyclicality, and competitive positioning. Our research helps lenders understand whether the business can sustain debt through changing market conditions.
Financial Spreading & Credit Analysis
Convert borrower financials into structured credit analysis covering revenue trends, profitability, cash flow generation, leverage, coverage, liquidity, capex needs, and debt servicing capacity, amortization and interest payment (cash / PIK) schedules, borrowing base capacities, and monthly cash flow forecasts. We help create a cleaner, decision-ready view of credit quality.
Credit Memo & Investment Committee Support
Prepare lender-ready credit memos, investment committee materials, borrower summaries, risk sections, covenant analysis, and deal rationale. Highlight key investment merits, risks, and structural considerations. Assessed sources & uses of funds, transaction structure, and deal participants. Our outputs support faster internal approvals and sharper investment discussions.
Cash Flow & Debt Capacity Analysis
Evaluate normalized EBITDA, free cash flow, debt service capacity, repayment ability, leverage and interest coverage trends, and downside resilience, conducting scenario and sensitivity analysis. We help credit investors assess how much leverage a borrower can support without weakening risk protection.
Covenant & Documentation Review
Track financial, maintenance, and incurrence covenants, reporting requirements, baskets, restrictions, security packages, guarantees, and key lender protections. We help identify covenant weaknesses, flexibility risks, and potential early warning indicators.
Industry & Market Mapping
Provide sector research, competitive benchmarking, demand trends, regulatory developments, pricing dynamics, and industry risk assessment. This helps lenders understand the external forces shaping borrower performance and credit risk.
Portfolio Monitoring & Early Warning Signals
Monitor portfolio companies through KPI tracking, financial performance updates, covenant compliance, liquidity indicators, sector developments, and risk triggers. We help credit teams identify deterioration before it becomes a credit event.
Private Credit Valuation
Perform discounted-cash flow (DCF) valuation, mark-to-market reviews, spread benchmarking, yield comparison, credit rating proxies, comparable transaction analysis, and valuation commentary. Our work helps investors assess whether private credit exposures remain fairly priced versus risk.
Refinancing & Exit Risk Analysis
Assess maturity profiles, refinancing capacity, market access, sponsor support, leverage tolerance, and exit options. We help lenders understand whether repayment, refinancing, amendment, or restructuring risk is increasing.
Sponsor & Counterparty Intelligence
Analyze sponsor track record, ownership history, capital support behavior, deal reputation, and portfolio exposure. This helps lenders evaluate the strength and reliability of key counterparties behind the borrower.
Distressed & Special Situations Credit Review
Support analysis of stressed borrowers, covenant breaches, liquidity pressure, restructuring options, recovery scenarios, and downside valuation. We help credit investors identify risk, recovery potential, and asymmetric opportunity.
Private Credit Fund Reporting Support
Create portfolio dashboards, borrower update notes, investor reporting packs, fund performance commentary, risk summaries, and market outlook content. We help managers communicate portfolio performance and credit discipline with clarity.
