Proven Business Model
Sound business strategy with known product demand and capacity for existing or future cash flow generation to limit default risk.

Strong Management
Experienced management teams committed to business and aligned through personal risk and ownership.

Stakeholder Support

Multiple Exits
Wide range of deleveraging or exit options not dependent on refinancing, collateral realization, or liquidation
