Summit places direct lending with vetted lenders serving operators across New York — from New York City, Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Albany to smaller commercial markets. New York is one of Summit's deepest markets — institutional bridge, ABL, and revenue-based placements span NYC and upstate.
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 York, direct lending demand is concentrated in finance and hospitality — sectors where Summit's lender bench has deep underwriting history. We structure deals against New York bank deposits, AR, and equipment, and execute documentation under the state's commercial finance rules.
Whether you operate in New York City, Buffalo, or a secondary market, the same desk handles intake, term-sheet negotiation, and funding — so New York operators get institutional execution without local-bank delays.
Same desk. Same execution. Indicative terms within 24 hours.
