Technology is changing both the world and our lives at an unprecedented rate. However, conventional debt finance products have not kept up – many are unsuitable for the technology business models of today.
We have experienced this problem ourselves and over the years, have seen many businesses struggle with securing either private credit or bank lending.
This inspired us to set up Fuse Capital in 2013 to help match capital with the businesses of tomorrow in a simple, timely, and cost-effective way.
Fuse Capital is a debt advisory and brokerage firm. Based in London, we work with hundreds of private debt funds globally. With our focus on the technology industry, we have a close working relationship with some of the most technology-savvy private debt lenders in the world.
Since 2013, we have helped over 350 clients secure bespoke private debt solutions. These clients range from owner-managed firms, private equity-backed firms, scale-up companies, listed PLCs as well as companies backed by some of the top venture capital firms in the world.
With us, you no longer have to waste precious time speaking to multiple capital providers just to find one which is suitable for your business. With our extensive network of relationships, we help you assess who the best private debt lenders for your business are and who to reach out to quickly.
Our expertise in private debt financing and underwriting means we can help you structure a loan that best suits your needs, and help you fight for the most attractive loan terms (e.g. lower interest rates, flexible structure, less restrictive clauses).
