Alternative Lenders (also known as private debt funds) are defined as fund managers which provide debt to unquoted companies to support their growth and raise funds from institutional investors. This includes direct lending funds and venture debt funds.
The BVCA runs a number of events aimed at this area, supported by a dedicated Alternative Lenders Forum.
