through excellence, integrity, and growth as stewards of capital, influence, and people.
Our Expertise
NAC’s team brings a wide range of expertise across private equity, commercial and community banking, private and public commercial real estate, financial planning, hedge fund management, manufacturing, engineering, and more.
We are entrepreneurs well-versed in the intricacies of launching, growing, and operating a business, and we relish opportunities to serve our fellow entrepreneurs.
NAC is uniquely suited to delve deeply into your business, understand your key objectives, and assist in preparing a USDA financing package that equips you to execute your strategy for growth and expansion.
But more important than our experience is our genuine interest in partnering with you to build your business, create jobs, and identify opportunities to improve the economic environment for tomorrow’s entrepreneurs and the communities they uphold.
Our consultative approach to lending brings an unrelenting commitment to excellence in communication and execution, laying the groundwork for long-term relationships. North Avenue Capital is not interested in merely engaging in financial transactions; we are in business to serve people.

NAC is not limited by geographic location like many rural-oriented financial institutions and can partner on projects in all 50 states.
Availability of Capital
NAC can lend up to $25 million per project, substantially more than traditional financing sources focused on rural communities.
Expanded Capital
NAC includes inventory, accounts receivable, and equipment as collateral, allowing access to greater amounts of debt than conventional loans collateralized exclusively by real estate.
Simplified Loan Structure
NAC specializes in consolidating multiple types of debt into a single loan structure that is fully amortized, non-callable, with no balloon payments over time.
Amortized Working Capital
NAC loans amortize working capital fully over the average lifespan of the loan’s collateral, lowering overall loan payments and eliminating the potential of a non-renewal.
Early Stage Businesses
NAC works with a diverse spectrum of companies, including startups, projection-based businesses, and niche industries that are often unable to obtain conventional debt.
Assumable Loan Terms
New owners can assume NAC loans, increasing exit valuations and making a business far more attractive to potential acquirers.
SBA & USDA Stack Loan Options
NAC offers lending solutions for an expanding number of businesses and their industries by offering USDA & SBA 7(a) stack options.
Construction Perm Loans
NAC originates interest-only construction loans, with preset conversions to permanent debt, saving borrowers from multiple closings and eliminating uncertainty, changes in terms, and equity calls.
We’re Business Owners, Too.
NAC has experience starting, building, and operating successful businesses across multiple industries and is committed to forming lasting partnerships, not just closing loans.
