We look before we speak
No one at Tailwind will quote you a rate before reading your financials, because that number would be a guess. The review comes first, every time.
About Tailwind Lending
A finance desk built around underwriting, not sales.
Why we built this
Owners of established, profitable companies get pitched constantly, and most of it is small, short-term money that doesn't fit a company their size.
Meanwhile, private equity firms arrange financing for their companies every day: taking money out, buying competitors, and funding expansion. Owner-led companies are rarely offered any of it.
That gap isn't about credit. Plenty of these companies can borrow on institutional terms. The gap is access: someone has to read the file and take it to the right lenders.
Tailwind exists to close it. We read the financials first, tell you what we think a lender will do, and typically run a competitive process with the lenders who do that kind of deal. We work on financings of $1M and up.

How we work
We tell you when the answer is no
If your business isn't fundable right now, or not on terms worth taking, we'll say so and tell you what would have to change.
We start at $1M
That focus is deliberate. Every file gets underwriting-level attention, and it goes only to lenders who do that kind of deal.
We work with your existing advisors
Your accountant, your attorney, and your banker are usually assets to the process. We'd rather bring them in than work around them.
Start with a look at the numbers.
The review costs nothing and commits you to nothing. At the end of it, you'll have our view of what your business could raise and what it would take to get there.
