Guides & Resources
Free, practical guides to private credit — built from the 900-fund Agentas dataset. Whether you're raising debt, comparing lenders, or learning the structures, start here.
Is there a platform to find lenders? How Agentas compares to Lendio, Fundera, and Biz2Credit — and which to use for SBA working capital vs a $20M–$500M private-credit raise.
The practical process: define your deal, screen for check-size fit, verify reachability, then contact lenders in a structured sequence — with a free tool that scores every active fund in the book against your deal.
The eight questions to ask before signing a term sheet: check-size fit, close speed, sponsor requirements, syndication appetite, and red flags from real deal experience.
How private credit differs from bank lending across capital source, speed, structure flexibility, price, and borrower fit — and when each makes sense.
When commercial banks decline your loan, private credit lenders may say yes. Why banks say no and what private credit lenders look for instead.
How private equity firms finance portfolio companies: add-on acquisitions, dividend recaps, growth capital, refinancings, and bridge-to-exit financing.
How PE sponsor backing affects your debt financing options: which lenders require sponsors, which don't, and how founder-owned companies compete for private credit.
How SaaS and software companies raise growth debt: venture debt, ARR-based lending, revenue-based financing, and the lenders that specialize in tech.
How equipment finance works: capital leases, equipment loans, sale-leasebacks, and operating leases — for manufacturing, construction, transportation, and healthcare equipment.
When and how to refinance maturing corporate debt. The 12-month timeline, lender selection strategy, and how to avoid last-minute forced refinancings.
Private credit lenders that can close in 30 days or less. Filter by check size, deal type, and sector — built from live lender data.
Live data: total active funds, breakdown by deal type, check-size coverage, and methodology. Updated continuously from the Agentas database.
Live data from active funds: the median private credit check size among ranges confirmed from a published source, by fund type, with the sample size shown.
Current private credit pricing: senior debt, unitranche, second-lien, mezzanine rates and spreads. What borrowers should expect to pay by deal type, size, and risk profile.
An honest comparison of private credit lender databases: PitchBook, Preqin, and Agentas — who each is built for, what they cost, and which fits a borrower raising debt.
