Sponsor-Backed Companies

Private equity sponsors and their portfolio companies operate on tight timelines and require lenders who can move quickly and understand the dynamics of sponsor-backed transactions. Jannu Capital works with sponsors to identify private credit lenders whose criteria and appetite appear aligned with the transaction.

Whether the need is an acquisition facility, delayed-draw capital for add-ons, a dividend recapitalization, or a refinancing, we connect sponsors with lenders whose stated criteria fit the opportunity. Potential lenders conduct their own independent underwriting, diligence, approval, and documentation processes.

We understand what private credit managers look for in sponsor-backed deals, from leverage tolerance to sector focus and hold size. This allows us to make targeted introductions and reduce time spent on lenders who are not a fit.

We coordinate introductions and help organize the initial process, giving sponsors and their portfolio companies greater control over timing and information flow. The company and lender then proceed directly through underwriting, proposed terms, diligence, documentation, and closing, with their respective advisers.
