Triple Point
London-based private markets manager with a dedicated private credit arm lending directly to UK SMEs and mid-market businesses across cashflow, asset and specialty finance structures.
What they do
Triple Point is an FCA-regulated private markets manager (founded 2004, c.£2.9bn group AUM) whose Private Credit division lends directly to UK businesses across six product lines: SME Debt Finance (cashflow loans, sponsor and non-sponsor), Corporate Leasing and Lending (asset finance and working capital), Specialty Finance (wholesale/warehouse lines to other lenders), Property Development Finance, Fund Finance (GP/sub-line/NAV), and Public Sector Finance. The SME Debt Finance team targets event-driven transactions — acquisitions, buy-and-build, organic growth — for both PE-backed and owner-managed businesses. The corporate leasing book covers hard and soft assets on 1–7 year terms. All lending is relationship-led and introduced via intermediary partners.
Where they fit in a lower-mid-market raise
Triple Point is a credible first call for lower mid-market businesses seeking £3–15m of senior or unitranche acquisition or growth debt, particularly where a clearing bank would require excessive covenant rigidity or where speed and structural flexibility matter. Their explicit sponsor coverage and non-sponsor appetite makes them usable across both PE-backed and founder-led mandates. The corporate leasing book is relevant where the facility is asset-backed and the borrower needs working capital or capex flexibility rather than pure cashflow lending.
Where they are not the fit
Less suited to businesses below £1–2m EBITDA where the ticket falls below their practical minimum. Their wholesale/specialty finance product is aimed at other lenders, not operating companies. Property development mandates go to a separate team with its own eligibility (experienced developer, residential, max 65–70% LTGDV). Businesses requiring a listed-market or AIM-denominated instrument are not a fit — Triple Point focuses on private, unquoted companies.
