There's a better way to raise company debt.

For companies worldwide raising USD 5m to USD 200m in debt. We prepare your case the way lenders assess it, approach the banks, private credit funds and non-bank lenders that fit, answer their due diligence questions and negotiate the terms with you, so you can compare offers side by side before you commit.

Why Alehar

Why companies work with Alehar

A debt raise follows a specific process, and most of it is hard to see from the company's side: how each lender assesses you, who has to approve the loan, what they still need, and which terms can be negotiated. It usually takes many months. We have worked on the lending side, so we know how the process works, and we take you through it step by step.

Preparing your case

Before anyone is approached, we work out how much debt the business can carry and what kind suits it. Then we build the financial model, the projections and the lender presentation, and set up the data room.

Approaching lenders

Banks, private credit funds and non-bank lenders each have their own criteria on size, sector and security. We approach every lender whose criteria your company meets and tell you where each one stands.

Due diligence and approval

Each lender comes back with questions and document requests before its credit committee decides. We prepare the answers with your finance team and keep every lender moving.

Terms and closing

We compare the offers on rate, fees, covenants, security, personal guarantees and prepayment charges, explain what each one means for you, and negotiate them with you. We stay through the loan documents until the money lands.

Typical situations

What companies tell us

01

“We could raise equity, but we do not want to give away more of the company.”

02

“We have only ever borrowed from our own bank, and do not know what else is out there.”

03

“We keep hearing about private credit, and cannot tell whether it fits a company like ours.”

04

“We operate in more than one country, and do not know where the debt should sit.”

05

“We know what we want to fund, but not how much debt the business can safely carry.”

The types of debt we help you raise

Whether you're funding growth, refinancing what you already have, or paying for an acquisition, these are the types of debt we work on.

  • Growth private credit

    Larger, more flexible loans from private credit funds to fund expansion.

  • Refinancing and recapitalization

    Replacing expensive or restrictive debt, or resetting the capital structure.

  • Working capital facilities

    Lines that fund receivables, inventory and seasonal peaks.

  • Asset-backed lending

    Loans secured on equipment or property.

  • Acquisition financing

    Debt to buy a company or buy out a shareholder.

  • Mezzanine financing

    Debt that ranks behind other loans and ahead of equity, used when those loans alone do not cover the need.

  • Venture debt

    Term loans for venture-backed companies, sized on recent funding and recurring revenue.

  • Structured and revenue-based financing

    Loans repaid as a percentage of revenue, or loans with equity features such as warrants.
