Four ways to work with us.

We sit between owners, capital and transactions in blue-collar industries. Depending on which side of that you are on, the relationship looks different — so pick your lane.

01

Banks, Workout & Special Assets

You have a credit going the wrong way. Before you charge it off or liquidate it, there is a fourth option: put a turnaround CFO into the borrower, get real reporting, and either return the loan to performing or run an orderly sale instead of an auction.

02

Lenders, Banks & Family Offices

ABL, factoring, equipment finance and acquisition debt. We bring you files that were already stress-tested before they reached your desk — earnings normalized, equipment at orderly liquidation value, concentration measured, coverage modeled down 20%.

03

Private Equity, Family Offices & Sponsors

Proprietary deal flow in the $5MM–$50MM+ band that never reaches an auction, operating diligence from people who have run this equipment, and a CFO who can sit in the seat after close. We co-invest where the deal earns it.

Brokers & Intermediaries

We represent buyers. We do not take sell-side mandates, so we are not competing with you. What we bring is a buyer who has capital, an underwrite that moves in days rather than months, and no SBA dependency to die on you at the last minute.

Why our buyers close »

We do not name the banks, lenders or firms we work with on this site. Some of those relationships sit inside live transactions, and a counterparty's name is not ours to publish. If you want specifics, ask on a call and we will talk about them properly.

Who you are dealing with

We came up on the credit side of these deals.

Mark Peterson has sat on every side of a credit: underwriter, capital raiser, asset protection, repossession, syndicator, turnaround rescuer and operator. That is the reason these four relationships work at all.

When we hand a file to a credit officer, it is built the way a credit memo needs it. When we sit in a workout call, we know what the committee is actually worried about. When we tell a sponsor that a target's add-backs do not hold, it is because we traced them.

We are deliberately small — you deal with the principal, not an associate.

Tell us which side of the table you are on.

Fifteen minutes. If there is no fit we will say so on the call rather than put you in a nurture sequence.
