Advanced Manufacturing
& Industrial Debt Capital

Structured Finance arranges senior debt and mezzanine capital facilities for semiconductor fabrications, aerospace components plants, gigafactories, and heavy industrial complexes globally.

Origination Dynamics

Financing Purpose-Built Industrial Assets

Financing a nine-figure advanced manufacturing facility requires underwriting a highly specialized operating enterprise rather than a traditional real estate shell. As regional banks retreat due to the illiquidity of bespoke collateral and complex compliance layers, direct private credit provides the structured capital necessary to fund critical technology and industrial supply chains.

The Traditional Bank Challenge

  • ×
    Restrictive Leverage Caps: Traditional syndicates cap commercial senior debt at 50% to 60% LTC due to the low alternative-use value of highly specialized manufacturing equipment.
  • ×
    The Bespoke Collateral Trap: Regional banks have largely retreated from heavy industrial projects, fearing the illiquidity and massive decommissioning costs of specialized cleanrooms or processing plants.
  • ×
    Floating Rate Volatility: Commercial facilities rely on floating SOFR rates, exposing the project to severe rate fluctuations during extended multi-year EPC construction timelines.
  • ×
    Policy & Supply Chain Friction: Navigating complex government subsidies, prevailing wage compliance, and long-lead equipment procurement often stalls conventional bank syndication for 12 to 24 months.

The Structured Finance Solution

  • Higher Leverage: We structure combined senior and mezzanine debt stacks that reach up to 90% LTC, drastically reducing the sponsor's cash equity burden.
  • Fixed-Rate Certainty: All placed facilities utilize fixed interest rates, protecting your underwriting model from market volatility from ground-break to stabilization.
  • Direct Private Capital: We place debt directly with private institutional lenders, eliminating the delays and friction of relying on a dozen regional banks to share the note.
  • Milestone Capital Draws: Disbursements are underwritten around long-lead equipment procurement, mechanical commissioning, and offtake integration rather than rigid real estate draw schedules.
