Summit places direct lending with vetted lenders serving operators across Connecticut — from Hartford, New Haven, Stamford, Bridgeport to smaller commercial markets. Connecticut middle-market manufacturers and healthcare groups rely on bridge and ABL structures during M&A and equipment cycles.
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 Connecticut, direct lending demand is concentrated in insurance and manufacturing — sectors where Summit's lender bench has deep underwriting history. We structure deals against Connecticut bank deposits, AR, and equipment, and execute documentation under the state's commercial finance rules.
Whether you operate in Hartford, New Haven, or a secondary market, the same desk handles intake, term-sheet negotiation, and funding — so Connecticut operators get institutional execution without local-bank delays.
Same desk. Same execution. Indicative terms within 24 hours.
