Our strategies

Senior Direct Lending Privately originated, senior secured loans and unitranche financings

Senior Direct Lending is the foundation of Apax Credit. We provide privately originated, senior secured loans and unitranche financings to sponsor-backed companies in our core sectors. Our focus is on established, growing businesses with resilient cash flows and strong management teams.

Our disciplined approach emphasizes downside protection, predictable income, and the ability to hold or syndicate as needed.

Typical parameters:

Investment size

$50–$300 million

Target EBITDA

$25–$100 million

Structures

First lien, unitranche, and select second lien

Capital solutions Tailored financing for complex or non-traditional situations

Our Capital Solutions strategy offers flexible, tailored financing for complex or non-traditional situations. We provide growth capital, recapitalizations, bridge financings, and structured equity where creativity and partnership matter most.

These solutions combine downside protection with the potential for upside participation — supporting companies and sponsors through transitional or opportunistic moments.

Use cases include:

Growth and expansion capital

Acquisition or M&A financing

Shareholder liquidity

Special situations and hybrid capital needs
