Private Credit Solutions for the Lower Middle Market

We advise established businesses on structuring and securing non-dilutive capital, then guide execution through closing.

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 non-dilutive capital solutions.

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

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® Execution Framework

Strategic Capital, Built for Certainty.

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

Each opportunity is assessed based on the company’s cash flow, collateral position, debt structure, repayment capacity, and current market conditions.

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

Situational Capital

Applied when a company requires flexible, execution-focused private credit for a defined capital need, timing constraint, or transition point.

These transactions are typically used for:

  • Recapitalizations

  • Bank exits

  • Debt restructuring

  • MCA or short-term debt cleanup

  • Working capital gaps

  • Time-sensitive growth opportunities

  • Recovery or turnaround situations

These structures are:

  • Underwritten to real cash flow, revenue behavior, and operating performance

  • Structured with defined repayment mechanics

  • 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.

Stabilization Capital

Applied when a company needs a more durable capital structure, institutional credit process, or collateral-supported financing path.

These transactions are typically used for:

  • Balance sheet stabilization

  • Bank exits or refinancing

  • Debt restructuring

  • Collateral-supported recapitalizations

  • Bridge-to-bankability strategies

  • Recovery and turnaround situations

These structures are:

  • Often senior secured or asset-backed

  • Underwritten with deeper diligence and conservative credit standards

  • Designed to improve liquidity, reduce capital structure pressure, or support a longer-term financing transition

  • Executed through institutional private credit, ABL, and collateral-oriented capital providers

The objective is to stabilize the company’s capital position and create a more sustainable path forward.
