Architects of
Alternative Capital


Capital doesn't fail because it is unavailable.  
It fails because it's miscommunicated.

We translate complex businesses into clear, lender-ready credit.

Not Quite Bankable. Far From Unworthy.

"Working with Greg Blount and Blount Consulting on the EarthDaily transaction was a standout experience. Greg brings a level of creativity and precision that’s rare in the debt advisory space. He understands the nuances of complex capital structures, especially in emerging and mission-driven sectors like ours, and he doesn’t just find capital—he architects solutions that align with long-term vision and real-world execution.

Greg has an exceptional ability to distill complex, high-growth stories like EarthDaily’s into clear, compelling cases that speak directly to the priorities of institutional lenders. His deep lender relationships, strategic instincts, and relentless execution moved the deal forward with clarity and speed. Greg’s not just a connector—he’s a partner who elevates every aspect of the process.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are you tied to specific lenders?
vector

No. We’re independent—that’s the point. Our network spans 200+ capital providers,
including regional banks, private credit funds, BDCs, family offices, and specialty finance
firms. That breadth lets us run a true market check and structure the deal on your terms,
not theirs.

How fast can you close a deal?
vector

Most deals close in 6–14 weeks, depending on complexity. That’s typically 30–40% faster
than traditional bank processes.

Do you only work with distressed companies?
vector

No. While we often step in for companies in Special Assets or with looming maturities,
many of our clients are scaling businesses that need smarter debt structures or non-
dilutive growth capital.

What makes you different?
vector

Speed, independence, and creativity. We know bank workout playbooks, we maintain
real-time lender intelligence, and we craft capital structures that go beyond cookie-cutter
terms. We don’t push volume—we push fit.

How do you charge?
vector

We keep our approach straightforward: our compensation consists of a flat success fee, negotiated per deal and tailored to the size and specifics of each transaction. There are no hidden incentives, no lender kickbacks, or complex formulas—just clearly aligned, transparent terms that make sense.

What’s the difference between VC and debt fnancing?
vector

Venture capital means selling equity—trading ownership and control for growth capital.
Debt financing means borrowing capital without dilution. Both have their place, but they
work very differently.

When does debt make sense over equity?
vector

Debt makes sense when your fundamentals are solid, but you don’t want to give up
ownership. It can extend runway, fund expansion, or bridge to profitability while
preserving equity for when it’s most valuable. At Blount, we see debt as smarter than
equity when it fuels growth without costing control.

What if debt isn’t right for me?
vector

Sometimes the best advice is “don’t take on debt right now.” We stress-test your options
and give you the straight answer, whether it leads to a transaction or not.

What size financings do you handle?
vector

We focus on $5M–$30M financings, typically for companies with $10M–$100M in
revenue. It’s the gap where banks hesitate and private credit thrives.

Who do you work with?
vector

We work with businesses that don’t quite fit the bank mold—whether scaling fast, facing temporary covenant challenges, or sitting in Special Assets despite strong fundamentals. Our clients range from high-growth SaaS firms to manufacturers and aerospace companies.
