TCC
Travelers Capital Corp. (TCC) is an alternative capital provider to public & private mid-market enterprises seeking custom finance solutions outside of those offered by traditional lending institutions. Initially created as a means to service and expand the existing client base of Travelers Financial Group, Travelers Capital has developed into a full-scope financier providing asset-based loan & lease solutions to borrowers facing a variety of traditional funding challenges, from transitional and distressed balance sheet restructurings to rapid-growth working capital and acquisition requirements. Travelers Capital is a member of the Travelers Group of Companies, who possess over 40-years of asset-based lending experience and is a leading provider of equipment finance and speciality loan & lease arrangements.
With a deep understanding of asset-finance and operation management, Travelers Capital is able to evaluate a borrower’s capital needs and inherent risks from an enterprise perspective, allowing for tailored, creative, and timely credit solutions.
Why Private Debt
Defined as any credit extended outside of traditional banking networks or public markets, private debt has become an exceedingly prevalent form of alternative capital for small to mid-market size enterprises over the last decade. Private debt has filled an important void in the capital markets and circumvents many of the challenges that accompany traditional financial institution underwriting guidelines, such as rigid financial and reporting covenants, strict loan to value and cash flow parameters, and convoluted approval procedures.
Travelers Capital works closely with clients at every stage of the corporate life cycle to better understand their assets, their business, and their credit needs to provide custom capital solutions outside of those offered by traditional banks.
