Overview

Direct Lending for Arizona operators.

Direct lending is non-bank, privately negotiated debt provided to middle-market companies. It bridges the gap between bank syndicated debt and high-yield bonds — typically with tighter covenants, faster execution, and more flexibility on structure than the public markets. Summit arranges senior secured, unitranche, second-lien, holdco, and structured equity-debt hybrids for both sponsor-backed and non-sponsored borrowers.

In Arizona, direct lending demand is concentrated in construction and healthcare — sectors where Summit's lender bench has deep underwriting history. We structure deals against Arizona bank deposits, AR, and equipment, and execute documentation under the state's commercial finance rules.

Whether you operate in Phoenix, Tucson, or a secondary market, the same desk handles intake, term-sheet negotiation, and funding — so Arizona operators get institutional execution without local-bank delays.
