Private Credit Solutions for the Lower Middle Market

Private credit solutions designed to preserve ownership.

Who is Elev8?

Elev8 Corporate Finance

Elev8 Corporate Finance is a lower middle-market private credit advisory platform focused on helping privately owned businesses structure and execute private credit solutions designed to preserve ownership.

We work with established B2B and DTC companies generating $10MM–$100MM in annual revenue that are seeking $2MM–$10MM in operating or growth capital.

Our role is to assess the capital need, design the appropriate structure, align the opportunity with the right private credit partners, and guide execution through closing.

We focus on solutions that may include:

• Revenue-based financing
• Structured term loans
• Hybrid MOIC structures
• Senior or junior secured debt
• Asset-based and collateral-supported facilities

Illiquid Assets

We do not run broad or volume-driven processes.

Each engagement is filtered early and advanced only when a credible path to execution exists.

GrowthBridge® Framework

Strategic Capital, Built for Certainty.

All transactions are evaluated through the GrowthBridge Financing® framework — our disciplined approach to structuring and delivering private credit solutions with a clear path to closing.

Each opportunity is assessed based on cash flow, collateral, debt structure, repayment capacity, and current market conditions.

From there, we determine whether the transaction requires Operating Capital, Growth Capital, or a combination of both — then define the structure, lender path, and execution strategy through closing.

Operating Capital

Applied when a company requires flexible, execution-focused capital to support near-term operating needs, liquidity constraints, or a defined transition point.

These transactions are typically used for:

Working capital gaps
Vendor or payroll timing needs
Inventory or purchase order support
Bank exits or refinancing
MCA or short-term debt cleanup
Recapitalizations
Time-sensitive growth opportunities

These structures are:

Underwritten to actual cash flow, revenue behavior, and operating performance
Structured with defined repayment mechanics and clear use of proceeds
Designed to improve liquidity, stabilize operations, and create near-term execution certainty
Executed through a focused group of MOIC, hybrid, and non-bank private credit providers

The objective is to create a practical financing path when conventional credit is too slow, restrictive, or unavailable — while positioning the company for a stronger long-term capital structure..

Growth Capital

Applied when a company is ready to pursue expansion, acquisition, recapitalization, or a more durable institutional financing structure.

These transactions are typically used for:

Growth initiatives
Acquisitions
Expansion capital
Bank exits or refinancing
Recapitalizations
Bridge-to-bankability strategies
Longer-term capital structure optimization

These structures are:

Often senior secured, cash-flow-based, or asset-supported
Underwritten through a deeper institutional credit process
Designed to improve liquidity, extend duration, reduce capital structure pressure, or support strategic growth
Executed through private credit, ABL, institutional term loan, and collateral-oriented capital providers

The objective is to move the company into a stronger, more sustainable capital position while supporting growth and long-term financing flexibility.
