Overview

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

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