SPONSORS AND PORTFOLIO COMPANIES
Jannu Capital supports sponsors and portfolio companies evaluating acquisition financing, refinancings, growth capital, recapitalizations, and other material debt decisions.
A financing structure may affect acquisition capacity, integration flexibility, liquidity, covenant headroom, management incentives, and the company's ability to execute its growth plan.
The right decision therefore requires more than obtaining lender interest. It requires a clear view of the credit, the transaction, and the operating priorities that follow closing.
Jannu brings structure to that analysis before the lender process begins.
Financing considered in connection with a new platform investment, ownership transition, or initial sponsor-backed capitalization.
Incremental debt capacity supporting acquisitions, integration costs, and related working-capital requirements.
Capital for expansion, equipment, technology, new locations, product investment, and other value-creation initiatives.
Evaluation of alternatives when existing debt approaches maturity, restricts flexibility, or no longer aligns with the investment plan.
Financing considered for shareholder liquidity, capital-structure adjustment, or other sponsor and company objectives.
Financing analysis for companies navigating integration, uneven performance, changing liquidity needs, or a more complex credit profile.
Review the company's financial profile, leverage, cash flow, collateral, transaction assumptions, and principal lender considerations.
Consider the financing alternatives against acquisition needs, liquidity, covenant capacity, flexibility, and the sponsor's operating plan.
Identify capital providers based on mandate, current appetite, transaction experience, structural capability, and execution discipline.
Prepare the financing case, organize lender engagement, support management discussions, compare commercial proposals, and track execution.
STAKEHOLDER ALIGNMENT
Sponsors may focus on transaction certainty, investment returns, acquisition capacity, and exit flexibility. Management must also operate within the resulting liquidity, reporting, covenant, and debt-service requirements.
Jannu helps frame the financing decision around both perspectives so that the selected structure supports the transaction without losing sight of the company after closing.
The financing must close—and remain workable.
Independent sponsors and smaller private-equity firms
Portfolio companies without an internal debt capital markets team
Transactions requiring approximately $2.5 million to $50 million or more of financing, with selective exceptions
Acquisition, refinancing, recapitalization, liquidity, and growth situations requiring targeted lender engagement
Jannu evaluates each opportunity individually. Transaction size, credit profile, timing, and available information all affect whether an engagement is appropriate.
Jannu Capital does not make loans, commit capital, approve credit, provide legal or tax advice, handle funds, or guarantee financing.
The sponsor and company determine transaction objectives and whether to proceed. Prospective lenders independently conduct underwriting, propose terms, and approve or decline the financing.

Private Credit Market Analysis
Private credit funds have capital to deploy, but slower deal activity and tighter underwriting make lender fit, positioning, and targeted outreach increasingly important.
