Piles of cash for mid-market companies in Western Europe – alternative capital providers and international banks keen to lend

Following the financial crisis local bank credit has become harder to tap for mid-market companies, even for those performing strongly. Fortunately some international banks have remained active, while alternative capital providers have been filling the gap, providing a vast array of attractive and customizable solutions.

Key findings:

  • Non-bank capital
  • International capital
  • International bank appetite
  • Non-transparency of capital
  • International advice

“The market for non-bank debt is booming. Debt and mezzanine funds in Europe and further abroad are more han ever interested in financing mid-market companies.
Even businesses that have traditionally relied on banks and
Private Equity investors are also turning to alternative (international) capital providers for different layers of finance and risk.”
