Overview

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

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