Direct Lending in Michigan.
Summit places direct lending with vetted lenders serving operators across Michigan — from Detroit, Grand Rapids, Ann Arbor, Lansing to smaller commercial markets. Michigan auto-supply and tier-2 manufacturers regularly use ABL and equipment refinance to manage OEM payment cycles.
Direct Lending for Michigan 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 Michigan, direct lending demand is concentrated in manufacturing and automotive — sectors where Summit's lender bench has deep underwriting history. We structure deals against Michigan bank deposits, AR, and equipment, and execute documentation under the state's commercial finance rules.
Whether you operate in Detroit, Grand Rapids, or a secondary market, the same desk handles intake, term-sheet negotiation, and funding — so Michigan operators get institutional execution without local-bank delays.
