As fast — or as patient — as you need. We can push lenders to move quickly or hold them at a comfortable pace; either way, speed never costs the deal something it needs to survive. To be Blount, three things set the actual pace: term sheet negotiations, credit negotiations, and you. The first two, we control by knowing — before the first call — what's negotiable and what isn't. That's the same clarity that turns negotiating into structuring, never extraction, and it's what shortens document turns while slower shops are still figuring out which terms will even move. The third variable is you — and your team. We keep everyone focused and on track, adding hands wherever the process needs them, so momentum never stalls on our side of the table. The result is a track record of closing fast when speed serves you, and taking our time when it doesn't. Either way, you're never the one waiting on us.

$10–100 million in debt, for companies from pre-revenue to pre-IPO. Industry agnostic — no vertical is excluded. Smaller or unusual deals usually aren't unworthy. They're just unlit. That's a gap in the market's coverage, not a ceiling on your business. We spend a lot of time exactly there.

No — independence is the Blount way. We work across 300+ capital providers, from global institutions and regional or local banks to private credit funds, BDCs, family offices, and specialty finance firms — giving you a true market check and terms structured on your side of the table.

No. Many clients are scaling businesses that simply need smarter debt structures or non-dilutive growth capital—though we also step in for companies facing covenant challenges, looming maturities, or Special Assets.

Most advisors and brokers aren’t legally required to put your interests first. We do it anyway — it’s the Blount way. That may not be the industry norm, but then neither is voluntarily adopting a fiduciary duty. We have your back.

We love being needed, but debt isn't right for every situation. Sometimes the best advice is "not right now" — and you shouldn't have to pay to find that out. We stress-test your options and give you the straight answer, whether it leads to a transaction or not.
