Overview

Direct Lending for Maryland 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 Maryland, direct lending demand is concentrated in government-services and healthcare — sectors where Summit's lender bench has deep underwriting history. We structure deals against Maryland bank deposits, AR, and equipment, and execute documentation under the state's commercial finance rules.

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