Frequently asked questions
Does SLR Credit Solutions run a fund structure or a balance-sheet model?
The firm executes balance-sheet transactions; it does not market commingled fund vehicles to limited partners. The $4.0 billion deployment figure cited on its website represents aggregate funded volume rather than assets under management. All deals require a sponsor and fall within a $50 million to $350 million transaction range.
How does the dual underwriting approach work in practice?
SLR Credit Solutions underwrites every transaction against both asset-based and cash flow criteria. For asset-based deals, it uses revolving, term loan, or unitranche structures secured by collateral—often as a first lien or split lien—with no minimum EBITDA threshold. Cash flow deals target EBITDA floors of $30 million, typically above $50 million, and usually include some asset coverage.
Which sectors has SLR Credit Solutions financed recently?
Announced transactions span retail (The Children’s Place in December 2025), aerospace and defense (Velocity One in June 2025), and agriculture and food distribution (Wilbur-Ellis). The firm’s website lists no explicit sector exclusions.
What is the minimum and maximum transaction size?
The firm’s public materials cite a typical transaction range of $50 million to $350 million. No minimum is stated for asset-based deals, though cash flow transactions require EBITDA of at least $30 million.
Who runs investment decisions at SLR Credit Solutions?
CEO and Chief Credit Officer Michael Pizette controls credit decisions. The origination team is led by Senior Managing Director Tanner Phifer. No investment committee membership has been publicly disclosed.
