Credit, described as a scope rather than a product.

Private credit is one of the areas Build Capital is structured around, and the operating brand for the work is Build Capital Credit. This page sets out what kinds of lending are in scope. It does not set out terms, because none exist.

What the area covers

The scope named for this area is private lending, specialty finance, insurance premium finance, surety and bond finance, and business-purpose loans, with embedded lending named as a future direction. Those are categories of credit, not offerings, and they are listed because the platform is built to work with them.

What links them is the collateral logic rather than the borrower type. In each case there is an identifiable obligation, a definable security interest behind it, and a repayment path that can be described before a dollar moves. Credit that cannot be described that way is outside the scope, and saying so is more useful than a longer list.

  • Private lending as the parent discipline.
  • Specialty finance, where the collateral rather than the balance sheet carries the risk.
  • Insurance premium finance: financing an insured's premium so a policy can be bound and paid over time.
  • Surety and bond finance, alongside the contractors and obligees that surety exists for.
  • Business-purpose loans, as distinct from consumer credit.
  • Future embedded lending, described as future because that is what it is.

Why there are no terms on this page

A credit page normally leads with a rate, a size band and a term sheet. This one carries none of those, and the omission is deliberate. Build Capital is pre-formation and has originated nothing; there is no book, no programme and no borrower, so any number here would describe an intention rather than a fact and would read as a quote.

The firm's internal research on these markets is under review and is not human-verified. Several of the figures a writer would naturally reach for are contested inside that research and have not been settled, which is precisely why none of them appears here. An honest empty slot is a better disclosure than a plausible number.

How this area would be approached

Structure follows the asset here too. Each credit line has its own documentation, its own collateral mechanic and its own operational obligations, and they are not interchangeable. The intention is to build one line properly before adding a second, and to describe each publicly only once it is real.

A credit business is judged on what it declines and on how it behaves when a loan goes wrong, neither of which shows up in a headline. That is the part the firm intends to build first.
