Zastre & Co. provides growth-stage and middle-market companies with direct access to institutional private credit markets. Our team maintains established relationships with senior, unitranche, asset-based lending, mezzanine, structured capital, NAV loan, and specialty finance providers across North America, Europe, the Gulf, and Asia-Pacific regions.
Whether financing acquisitions, recapitalizing balance sheets, or unlocking portfolio net asset value, Zastre & Co. delivers tailored private credit solutions aligned with client objectives and execution timelines.
Bespoke credit solutions tailored to complex capital needs.
Expertise across senior, unitranche, mezzanine, and hybrid instruments.

Rapid underwriting from top-tier direct-lending desks—speed and certainty of close for time-sensitive transactions.
Scalable revolver-plus-term-loan solutions that flex with growth and refinance seamlessly into the broader capital stack.
Liquidity unlocked from receivables, inventory, PP&E, and IP - borrow against what you already own.
Borrowing bases that expand automatically with seasonal or rapid sales cycles, protecting working-capital headroom.
Experienced field-exam and monitoring partners keep compliance painless and lines fully available.
Ideal bridge to transformational events: M&A roll-ups, turnarounds, or sponsor buy-outs where collateral coverage is strong.
Single-document structure combines senior and junior layers—one lender group, one rate, zero inter-creditor friction.
Higher leverage with covenant simplicity - perfect for sponsor-backed acquisitions and dividend recaps.
Bullet or delayed-draw options to align funding with milestone spending.
Fund-level credit secured by portfolio NAV—borrow against the diversified value of your PE/VC holdings, not a single asset, unlocking liquidity without selling winners.
Flexible capital for follow-ons, GP commitments, early distributions, or opportunistic deals—draw as needed; no LP consent hassles.
Covenant-light borrowing base that re-marks quarterly—advance rates scale with valuations, PIK options minimize cash drag, and maturities match fund life.
Specialist private credit desks and bank NAV teams deliver rapid underwriting, competitive pricing, and structures that sit neatly above LP equity yet below asset-level leverage.
Long-dated, cash-flow–matched debt structures for energy, transport, digital, and social-infra assets.
Non-recourse or limited-recourse terms that isolate project risk from the corporate balance sheet.
Blended financing stacks (senior, mezz, tax-equity, green bonds) to optimize cost of capital and leverage public incentives.
Deep bench of pension, insurance, and sovereign capital seeking stable, inflation-linked yields over 10-30-year horizon.
Zastre & Co. delivers precision equity placements that match tomorrow’s market leaders with institutional cheque-writers today. Through an invite-only network of growth-equity funds, family offices, pension co-invest desks, and secondary specialists, we engineer structures that accelerate scale, release founder liquidity, or fund strategic pivots.
