With over $1.6 billion in senior secured cash flow loans closed, our experienced team is here to support private equity-backed lower middle market companies.
We provide senior secured cash flow-based financing solutions to private equity sponsors across the United States. We seek to hold positions for our own balance sheet and partner with other lenders, including third-party mezzanine investors, when appropriate.
Our products support the acquisition, recapitalization and growth investment efforts of private equity firms operating in the lower middle market.
If your company generates EBITDA between $2 million and $10 million, we can do great things together.
You want to be sure that your senior lender has strong relationships with small business investment companies (SBIC), to include private equity firms and subordinated debt partners across the industry.
That’s why we partner with and invest in funds throughout the United States.
Headquartered in Chicago with offices in Charlotte, North Carolina, we provide private equity sponsors with customized financial solutions for each deal, backed by extensive industry knowledge.
In Memoriam
Byline Sponsor Finance Managing Director Joe Horwath passed away on December 5, 2019, following a long and courageous battle with lung cancer. He was both a valued colleague and a dear friend.
Joe was pivotal in the creation and expansion of the Byline Bank Sponsor Finance group. A highly principled professional who believed in transparency, good-faith practice and objective reasoning, Joe left us with a framework that continues to guide how Byline Sponsor Finance operates today.
Joe always held himself and others to high standards, but he did so with care, mentorship and an outsized sense of humor, which earned him the respect of colleagues at all levels. He made everyone around him better, and his immutable influence serves as a beacon for us individually and as a firm.
Joe is survived by his wife and two daughters, for whom he cared deeply and made no compromises.
