Frequently Asked Questions
Who do you work with?
We work with businesses that don’t quite fit the bank mold—whether scaling fast, facing temporary covenant challenges, or sitting in Special Assets despite strong fundamentals. Our clients range from high-growth SaaS firms to manufacturers and aerospace companies.
What size financings do you handle?
We focus on $5M–$30M financings, typically for companies with $10M–$100M in
revenue. It’s the gap where banks hesitate and private credit thrives.
Are you tied to specific lenders?
No. We’re independent—that’s the point. Our network spans 200+ capital providers,
including regional banks, private credit funds, BDCs, family offices, and specialty finance
firms. That breadth lets us run a true market check and structure the deal on your terms,
not theirs.
How fast can you close a deal?
Most deals close in 6–14 weeks, depending on complexity. That’s typically 30–40% faster
than traditional bank processes.
Do you only work with distressed companies?
No. While we often step in for companies in Special Assets or with looming maturities,
many of our clients are scaling businesses that need smarter debt structures or non-
dilutive growth capital.
What makes you different?
Speed, independence, and creativity. We know bank workout playbooks, we maintain
real-time lender intelligence, and we craft capital structures that go beyond cookie-cutter
terms. We don’t push volume—we push fit.
How do you charge?
We keep it simple: a flat 10% success fee on capital secured. No hidden incentives, no
complicated formulas—just aligned, transparent compensation when the deal closes.
What’s the difference between VC and debt fnancing?
Venture capital means selling equity—trading ownership and control for growth capital.
Debt financing means borrowing capital without dilution. Both have their place, but they
work very differently.
When does debt make sense over equity?
Debt makes sense when your fundamentals are solid, but you don’t want to give up
ownership. It can extend runway, fund expansion, or bridge to profitability while
preserving equity for when it’s most valuable. At Blount, we see debt as smarter than
equity when it fuels growth without costing control.
What if debt isn’t right for me?
Sometimes the best advice is “don’t take on debt right now.” We stress-test your options
and give you the straight answer, whether it leads to a transaction or not.
