Summit places direct lending with vetted lenders serving operators across Georgia — from Atlanta, Augusta, Savannah, Columbus to smaller commercial markets. Atlanta's logistics and film economy drives heavy demand for equipment, factoring, and working-capital lines.
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 Georgia, direct lending demand is concentrated in logistics and film — sectors where Summit's lender bench has deep underwriting history. We structure deals against Georgia bank deposits, AR, and equipment, and execute documentation under the state's commercial finance rules.
Whether you operate in Atlanta, Augusta, or a secondary market, the same desk handles intake, term-sheet negotiation, and funding — so Georgia operators get institutional execution without local-bank delays.
Same desk. Same execution. Indicative terms within 24 hours.
