Why Work with Revelle Capital on Private Credit
The European private credit market has grown to over €400 billion in assets under management, with more than 200 active direct lending platforms competing for deal flow. For borrowers, this creates opportunity but also complexity. Identifying the right lender for a specific transaction requires deep market knowledge and established relationships.
Revelle Capital operates at the intersection of borrowers and lenders. We advise corporate borrowers, private equity sponsors, and family offices on sourcing, structuring, and negotiating private credit facilities across European jurisdictions. Our London and Zurich offices provide direct access to lenders active in the UK, DACH, Nordics, Benelux, and Southern European markets.
Our role is straightforward: we run a competitive process across our lender network to secure the best available terms for your transaction. We handle lender outreach, coordinate due diligence, negotiate documentation, and manage the process through to closing. Typical engagements result in multiple term sheets within weeks of mandate.
