Charting Pathways Beyond Traditional Financing

Five Crowns Credit Partners was established in 2016 as an affiliate of Five Crowns Capital, which has built a strong record and reputation since 2003 for successfully executing flexible investment partnerships in countless industries. As a flexible, bespoke capital resource outside of traditional financing institutions, Five Crowns Capital is recognized for skillfully and creatively managing buyouts and/or adding growth potential opportunities to middle-market businesses, even within complex situations, such as out-of-favor industries.

Five Crowns Credit Partners was inspired by a compelling market opportunity to form a new platform of direct lending that works with a more wholistic and aligned approach, outside of the limitations of asset-based or cash flow lending parameters. By operating as a hybrid family office and institution investor, we can underwrite situations and industries that traditional lenders and investors can’t.
