What We Do
  Debt Investing

Allied Capital provides a full array of debt products to middle market companies, including senior debt, second lien and/or subordinated debt, and unitranche facilities.  We can offer each of these debt products individually, or on a one-stop basis with Allied Capital underwriting the full financing needs of a transaction up to $300 million in total.

Senior Debt
Allied Capital, through its senior loan underwriting group AC Finance can provide senior Term A & B loans, second lien loans and revolving lines of credit to middle market borrowers.  AC Finance structures, originates, syndicates and manages middle market senior loans and can provide fully underwritten commitments up to $150 million.  Senior hold positions are typically $5 million to $75 million.

Unitranche Debt
Allied Capital’s unitranche debt facility combines traditional senior and junior debt terms into a single senior debt facility.  It is particularly attractive to smaller companies (with EBITDA < $15 million) that may not have access to the larger senior syndicated loan market.  Our unitranche debt facility blends the cost of senior and junior debt, providing the borrower the ease of a single loan agreement, with a single interest rate from a single lender.  The unitranche structure also offers simplified documentation, reduced amortization requirements, and the ease of future add-ons and modifications.
