When Traditional Financing Slows You Down, Debt Funds Keep Deals Moving
Debt funds provide flexible, short-term capital for situations where banks can’t move fast enough or won’t underwrite today. Bridge helps businesses determine when debt funds make sense, matches them with the right capital partners, and drives the deal to close.
Debt funds are commonly used for:
Time-sensitive Hotel acquisitions
Transitional or turnaround situations
Bridge financing ahead of a refinance
Projects with temporary cash flow gaps
They're not “last-resort” lenders, they’re situational capital.
The benefits of Debt Lenders:
Banks take too long
Loan request doesn't fit your banks credit box today
The structure is temporary
Timing matters more than rate
The risk isn’t using a debt fund, it's is using the wrong one.

Most lenders quote an Annual Percentage Rate (APR), which shows the total yearly cost of your loan, including interest AND all fees. This is the number you want to focus on because it gives you the complete picture of what you'll actually pay.
Interest is usually expressed as a percentage of the amount you’ve borrowed, the higher the interest rate, the more money will be added to your original loan amount.

See If a Debt Fund Fits Your DealFrequently Asked Questions
Are debt funds only for distressed businesses?
No. Debt funds are often used by strong businesses facing timing, structure, or complexity constraints, not distress. They’re commonly used for bridge financing, acquisitions, renovations, or transitional periods where bank underwriting doesn’t fit yet. The key is using debt funds strategically, as a tool, not a permanent solution.
How fast can debt fund financing close?
Debt fund financing can often close in weeks, not months, depending on the deal and readiness. Because debt funds are more flexible than banks, they can move faster on underwriting and approvals. Bridge helps accelerate timelines by preparing a bank-ready request, matching you with active funds, and actively driving the process forward.
Why use Bridge instead of going direct?
Most businesses don’t know which debt funds are active, how they underwrite, or where hidden constraints live. Going direct often leads to wasted time or unfavorable terms. Bridge helps you determine if a debt fund is the right fit, matches your deal with the right capital partners, negotiates terms, and manages the process through close, so you don’t have to learn by trial and error.
What does debt fund financing cost compared to bank loans?
Debt fund financing typically costs more than traditional bank loans because it offers speed, flexibility, and structure when banks can’t. Bridge helps you understand these tradeoffs upfront and evaluates whether a lower-cost option is viable, or whether the cost of delay would be higher than the cost of capital.
Can debt fund financing be refinanced later?
Yes, in many cases, debt fund financing is used as a temporary bridge before refinancing into lower-cost capital once the business or asset stabilizes. Bridge helps structure deals with that exit in mind, so you’re not boxed in later.
