Overview

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

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