We speak your language. Our team works collaboratively with sponsors and portfolio management teams to deliver capital solutions that drive enterprise value at every stage.
We fund deals traditional lenders won’t, supporting businesses with inconsistent cash flow, legacy debt, or complex capital stacks without.

OVERVIEW
A private equity sponsor identifies an add-on acquisition for a portfolio company in the specialty healthcare sector. The deal is highly strategic, with operational synergies and market expansion potential.
CHALLENGE
The seller requires an accelerated close, and traditional lenders were too slow. The sponsor needs non-dilutive capital fast, without delaying negotiations or burdening the parent company with long-term debt.
SOLUTION
eCapital delivers a $12 million receivables-backed facility in under three weeks. The sponsor is able to use the facility to fund the acquisition without drawing down on internal equity or disrupting the capital stack, securing the deal and positioning the portfolio company for immediate integration.
OVERVIEW
A private equity sponsor identifies a high-performing logistics company as a platform acquisition to anchor a regional roll-up strategy. The business demonstrates consistent EBITDA growth and strong receivables but requires rapid access to working capital to finalize the purchase and maintain operational continuity post-close.
CHALLENGE
Traditional senior lenders are unable to meet the compressed acquisition timeline. The sponsor needs a lender that could underwrite quickly, structure financing around receivables and inventory, and deploy funds before the closing window expired.
SOLUTION
eCapital works directly with the sponsor’s transaction team to deliver a $15 million asset-based lending facility secured by receivables and rolling inventory. The financing is approved and funded within three weeks, enabling the acquisition to close on schedule. The new platform gains immediate liquidity to execute its integration plan, and the sponsor successfully positions the company for add-on growth.
OVERVIEW
A corporate financial sponsor advising a logistics company is managing a complex management buyout (MBO) requiring significant upfront capital. The deal has a short closing window, and the client’s bank was unable to finalize long-term financing before the deadline.
CHALLENGE
Without interim funding, the acquisition risks collapsing. The sponsor needs a reliable financing partner capable of closing quickly, without interfering with the bank’s longer-term financing plans or jeopardizing client confidentiality.
SOLUTION
eCapital works closely with the sponsor to deliver an $8 million bridge facility backed by the company’s receivables and equipment. Funding is completed in under two weeks, allowing the transaction to close on time. After stabilization under new ownership, the client refinances with their primary bank, preserving the sponsor’s advisory success and ensuring the client’s continued growth.
OVERVIEW
A private equity group seeks to extract partial value from a high-performing staffing company within its portfolio while retaining majority ownership for continued growth. The company’s assets and cash flow supports additional leverage, but traditional lenders were unwilling to accommodate a dividend recap within their existing structure.
CHALLENGE
The sponsor needs a capital partner capable of providing liquidity quickly and structuring a facility that would preserve equity while allowing the sponsor to return capital to investors.
SOLUTION
eCapital collaborates with the sponsor to design a $25 million asset-based lending facility secured by accounts receivable. The transaction provides immediate liquidity for the dividend distribution while maintaining adequate working capital for day-to-day operations. The result: a balanced structure that allows the sponsor to achieve partial liquidity, retain control, and continue supporting the portfolio company’s expansion.
