Private Credit Navigators
Jannu Capital guides lower- and middle-market companies through the complexities of the private credit market.
About Jannu Capital
Jannu Capital is an independent commercial finance advisory firm serving lower- and middle-market companies. We guide clients through the fragmented private credit market by identifying lenders whose criteria match their financing needs, business profile, and strategic goals. We facilitate introductions and coordinate initial discussions. Clients and lenders then work directly on underwriting, terms, documentation, and closing.
Mission
Our mission is to advance our clients’ businesses by delivering a structured approach that matches each client with private credit lenders best suited to their profile, objectives, and financing needs.
Vision
Our vision is to be recognized in private markets for execution, innovation, and a strong focus on closing, grounded in deep industry relationships and the highest standards of conduct and ethics.
Lower- and Middle-Market Focus
We were founded to serve lower- and middle-market businesses, including privately held companies owned by entrepreneurs, families, and private equity firms.
Why Jannu Capital
What sets us apart
Valuable Network
Our team leverages a robust, well-maintained network across private credit, investment banking, legal, and corporate finance sectors.
Industry Intelligence
We leverage proprietary data, augmented AI, BDC activity, new fund launches, and other market trends to identify private credit lenders best suited to your financing mandate.
Matchmaking Experts
We understand each private credit lender’s criteria, allowing us to match borrowers with the right financing partners efficiently and accurately.
Transparency & Control
We connect you with interested private credit managers early, giving you more control over timing, information flow, and the direction of the financing process.
Why We Exist
As traditional banks have become more selective, private credit has expanded, resulting in a fragmented market of specialized lenders, each with unique criteria and risk parameters. Jannu Capital brings structure to this complexity, making the origination process as seamless as possible for lower- and middle-market companies seeking the right private credit lender.
How We Help
We assess your business profile, financing needs, desired structure, and transaction requirements, then leverage our knowledge of each lender’s criteria and specialization. This enables us to introduce you to private credit lenders best aligned with your business and objectives.
Our Approach
Intake
We review your financing objectives and collect key information about your business, ownership, intended use of funds, financing needs, and timeline.
Lender Matching
Using your information, we identify lenders whose criteria align with your company and financing needs. With your approval, we share an anonymized initial overview to gauge their interest.
Introductions & Meetings
If a lender expresses interest, we introduce you and arrange an initial meeting.
Direct Lender Engagement
After the introduction, you and the lender communicate directly about information requests, underwriting, financing structures, and proposed terms. We can assist with scheduling and help maintain efficient communication.
Independent Review & Closing
Each lender independently evaluates the opportunity and decides whether to offer you a financing proposal. You and your advisers review and negotiate proposals directly with the lender. The lender and advisers manage due diligence, documentation, closing, and funding.
Ongoing Partnership
We stay in touch as your business and financing needs change, and can provide further introductions to suitable lenders as needed.
"We built Jannu Capital to bring structure to a fragmented private credit market, so our clients can move forward with the lenders best suited to their business, with clarity and confidence from assessment through closing."
