Summit places direct lending with vetted lenders serving operators across New Jersey — from Newark, Jersey City, Paterson, Edison to smaller commercial markets. Northern NJ port-and-logistics operators are a core part of Summit's deal flow — ABL, factoring, and equipment financing are placed weekly.
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 New Jersey, direct lending demand is concentrated in logistics and pharma — sectors where Summit's lender bench has deep underwriting history. We structure deals against New Jersey bank deposits, AR, and equipment, and execute documentation under the state's commercial finance rules.
Whether you operate in Newark, Jersey City, or a secondary market, the same desk handles intake, term-sheet negotiation, and funding — so New Jersey operators get institutional execution without local-bank delays.
Same desk. Same execution. Indicative terms within 24 hours.
