Common questions

Does the Financing Assessment cost anything?

No. There is no fee, and no obligation to engage Thornrock afterward.

Are you a lender?

No. We are an advisor. We represent you, the borrower, place your financing with the lenders best suited to it, and negotiate terms on your behalf.

How is Thornrock paid?

We are paid a success fee after your financing closes and is funded. The Financing Assessment is free.

Will lenders contact me directly?

Only with your approval. Outreach is controlled, and lenders sign NDAs before they receive confidential information.

What size companies do you work with?

Middle-market companies raising $10M to $1B, in the U.S. and around the world.

Is financing guaranteed?

No. All financing is subject to lender due diligence and credit approval. Our role is to prepare your company, place it with the right lender and negotiate on your behalf.
