The central underwriting questions are cash flow, leverage, enterprise value, collateral and downside recovery; the transaction should therefore test whether the borrower can service higher-cost debt and refinance or amortize at maturity before the process reaches final credit approval. For Recapitalization Financing, private credit can tolerate complexity that conventional bank policy may reject, but the lender still requires a defendable repayment path, downside protection and a structure that compensates for the additional risk. The practical objective is a financing file that can survive independent credit review without changing its core facts from lender to lender.
