Manulife | Comvest Credit Partners provides flexible debt financing solutions to help drive meaningful growth of middle-market companies throughout North America. Our veteran investment team has structured, financed and closed dozens of transactions throughout the consumer and retail vertical, with a demonstrated record of helping borrowers achieve their financing goals.
Our experience structuring debt capital solutions spans a broad array of consumer-facing markets, including multi-unit retail, consumer products, e-commerce, and food and beverage. We are well-versed in the many complexities of consumer and retail-related businesses that can affect operations, growth, and capital needs.
Our collaborative investment process results in bespoke financing solutions focused primarily on senior debt capital. We tailor loan structures and terms to each borrower’s situation, with the ability to provide considerable immediate capital as well as delayed draws to support both immediate and ongoing funding needs. With the ability to provide up to $300 million or more in capital per transaction, we can serve as a single-source financing partner for many companies and can provide follow-on investments to support additional growth opportunities.
