Questions people ask

Is private credit safer than equity?

Priority in the capital structure does not eliminate default, collateral, liquidity, valuation, leverage, or manager risk.

Is private credit appropriate for every business?

No. Cost, covenants, cash-flow volatility, collateral, growth plans, and alternatives must be evaluated.
