Junior Capital: Fill Funding Gaps Without Sacrificing Equity

Junior Capital takes a secondary position behind senior debt, enabling you to bridge additional financing needs. It often features higher returns for investors but lets you secure supplemental capital while keeping your core debt structure intact.

Junior Capital Services

Junior Capital typically targets growth initiatives or acquisitions that exceed what senior lenders can provide. By accepting a subordinated claim on assets, investors or lenders offer higher-risk funding in exchange for more attractive terms. This arrangement means you can finalize larger deals, prop up working capital, or invest in strategic expansions—even if your primary loan facilities are maxed out.

Commercial Finance Partners tailors Junior Capital solutions by evaluating your existing senior debt covenants, projected cash flows, and risk thresholds. We strive to ensure the extra financing doesn’t push repayment obligations beyond healthy levels. The result is a well-balanced capital stack that harnesses junior funding’s benefits—like flexible usage and minimal equity dilution—while maintaining synergy with any existing senior obligations. When properly orchestrated, Junior Capital can be the deciding factor in capturing an acquisition window or fueling an ambitious scaling plan.
