Aequum Capital

Aequum Capital is a national nonbank lender focused on middle-market businesses, particularly those in special situations—think turnaround financing, workout scenarios, liquidity challenges, and sponsor-backed acquisitions. The firm targets established companies generating at least $800,000 in monthly revenue and with at least two years of operating history, offering deal sizes from $5 million to $25 million. Core products include lines of credit, term loans, and bridge capital, with underlying structures that include senior asset-based lending (ABL revolvers), equipment term loans, capex delayed-draw term loans, and cash-flow debt facilities. A reported $250 million capital raise signals meaningful institutional backing. Aequum appears well suited for mid-size businesses that have outgrown community bank capacity or don't fit conventional credit boxes—particularly those navigating operational stress or complex ownership transitions. Businesses with straightforward growth financing needs or smaller deal sizes will likely need to look elsewhere.
