The original CreditSquare helped established businesses find debt for acquisitions, investment and working capital. It assessed a company’s borrowing needs and approached lenders whose criteria might fit. Its material also addressed investors who wanted exposure to small and medium-sized companies.
Why borrowers used an intermediary
The original offering described a market in which lenders looked at different combinations of assets, forecast cash flows and management experience. A trading company trying to finance its next order faced a different question from a buyer seeking a term loan for a takeover. CreditSquare prepared the information and managed the steps between enquiry and drawdown.
How the business changed
By 2016 the firm was describing an institutional marketplace alongside its advisory work. Its later homepage described term loans funded by institutional partners and a servicing role after drawdown. The former team and the transaction archive provide context for those historical services.
The current site offers independent tools. Use the brief builder to organise a funding requirement, or the cost comparison when you have figures from a lender.
