Park Square Capital
A London-headquartered private credit manager that lends to larger, private-equity-backed companies across Europe and the US.
What they do
Park Square Capital is an independent private credit firm founded in 2004, providing senior debt, subordinated/junior debt and mid-market direct loans across the capital structure. Its lending is overwhelmingly to high-quality, leveraged companies backed by established private equity sponsors, alongside a large broadly-syndicated senior loan and European CLO business. The European direct-lending programme (European Loan Partners II) closed at EUR 3.4bn in 2024, and the firm has built dedicated US senior direct lending capacity, including a 2025 strategic alliance with Nomura. Deployment is selective and credit-led rather than volume-driven.
Where they fit in a lower-mid-market raise
For a UK lower-mid-market borrower, Park Square is relevant only at the top end of the spectrum and almost always in a sponsor context: a private-equity-owned business seeking a sizeable unitranche or senior facility to fund an LBO, recapitalisation or larger acquisition. Their natural counterparty is a financial sponsor and their deal teams, not an unsponsored corporate. Where they fit is upper-mid-market and large-cap leveraged credit where a single lender can write a large, flexible cheque across the structure.
Where they are not the fit
They are not a fit for the core £3–15m direct-corporate raise that Solon focuses on. A fund of this scale (multi-billion programmes, $35bn+ deployed since inception across 245+ companies) deploys in tickets materially larger than 15m, and its origination is geared to private-equity sponsors rather than founder- or family-owned corporates approaching directly. A sub-15m unsponsored facility sits below their minimum economics and outside their typical sourcing channels.
On the record
Founded in 2004 by Robin Doumar (Managing Partner), formerly of Goldman Sachs where he led the European leverage finance and mezzanine businesses.
