Over the years, our company has successfully provided over $2 billion in financing to businesses across a diverse range of industries.

A Decade of Track Record & Capital Execution
Founded by senior credit professionals with deep backgrounds in Wall Street debt capital markets, leveraged finance, and private equity, Pinnacle Private Credit was created to provide a flexible alternative to standardized institutional lending. Since our inception, we have:
- Funded Over 874 Businesses: Spanning healthcare providers, precision manufacturers, commercial real estate portfolios, cold-chain transport networks, and technology firms.
- Originated Over 1,369 Credit Facilities: Tailoring each term sheet around borrower seasonality, working capital requirements, and growth trajectories.
- Maintained Rigorous Capital Preservation: Our disciplined underwriting protocols and comprehensive downside covenants have protected investor capital through diverse interest rate environments and economic cycles.
- Closed Deals in 2 to 4 Weeks: Operating without multi-tier syndication committees enables us to provide rapid indications of interest, definitive term sheets, and swift funding.
Investment Committee & Risk Governance
Capital deployment at Pinnacle is governed by our Investment Committee in New York. We do not rely on automated credit scoring algorithms or rigid rating agency matrices. Instead, our underwriting evaluates:
- Sustainable Normalized Cash Flows: We conduct detailed quality-of-earnings diligence to determine the core operational earning power of the borrower after adjusting for non-recurring events.
- Collateral Quality & Asset Coverage: When structuring asset-based facilities, our valuation team inspects receivables, inventory, machinery, and real property to establish conservative loan-to-value (LTV) ratios.
- Sponsor & Management Alignment: We partner with exceptional operators who possess proven execution capabilities and meaningful equity stakes in their enterprises.
- Downside Covenant Packages: We structure balanced covenant frameworks — including minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratios (FCCR) and maximum Senior Leverage — that provide early warning indicators while granting management operational freedom.
How to Partner with Pinnacle
Whether you are an independent sponsor seeking an anchor unitranche lender for an upcoming platform buyout, a CFO needing an asset-based revolver to support seasonal inventory surges, or an institutional investor seeking durable alternative credit yields, our principals are ready to engage.
