Capital Markets
“Phil Kain and Rush Street Capital played a critical role in helping us refine the financial analysis, sharpen the messaging, and properly position our transaction for success in the marketplace. Phil understood exactly how to navigate the capital markets — who to call, how to frame the opportunity, and what levers to pull throughout the process. Under the circumstances, there is no way this transaction would have closed without Rush Street Capital.”

30+ Years of Middle Market Investment Experience
Rush Street Capital helps middle market companies access the capital they need to stabilize, grow, acquire, refinance, and execute strategic initiatives with confidence. In today’s rapidly evolving lending environment, navigating the private capital markets has become increasingly complex. Our role is to simplify that process and provide CEOs, CFOs, entrepreneurs, and private equity sponsors with direct access to a broad network of banks, private credit funds, asset-based lenders, mezzanine investors, family offices, and institutional capital providers.
With decades of experience across commercial banking, leveraged finance, and private credit, our team understands how capital providers evaluate opportunities, structure transactions, and make investment decisions. We leverage these insights to position our clients effectively in the marketplace, develop compelling financing narratives, and structure creative capital solutions tailored to each company’s objectives and circumstances.
We specialize in sourcing and arranging a wide range of financing solutions, including senior secured loans, asset-based lending facilities, unitranche structures, mezzanine debt, acquisition financing, growth capital, working capital solutions, recapitalizations, refinancing transactions, and special situations capital. Whether a business is pursuing expansion, navigating operational challenges, acquiring a competitor, or seeking to optimize its balance sheet, Rush Street Capital works to identify the right financing partners and execute transactions efficiently.
Our process is designed to minimize disruption to management teams while maximizing access to capital. We coordinate the financing process from initial strategy and lender positioning through due diligence, negotiation, structuring, and closing. By managing the complexities of the capital raise, we allow business owners and executives to remain focused on operating and growing their companies.
Rush Street Capital combines institutional-level capital markets expertise with hands-on middle market execution. We understand that every company, industry, and transaction presents unique opportunities and challenges. Our approach is relationship-driven, solutions-oriented, and focused on delivering certainty, creativity, responsiveness, and results.
At its core, our Capital Markets practice is about helping businesses unlock access to the financial resources necessary to move forward confidently — whether the goal is accelerating growth, strengthening liquidity, refinancing existing debt, funding acquisitions, supporting ownership transitions, or navigating periods of transition and change.
We are actively involved in the debt capital markets and we are experts in the middle-market and lower middle-market arena. On behalf of our clients, Rush Street Capital navigates the dynamic and sometime turbulent changes that occur with providers of capital. Whether it is shifts in the way banks are being regulated, changes in the capital markets affecting how finance companies are lending or the advent of new capital providers and new types of capital offerings, Rush Street Capital makes sense of these changes and provides our clients financial alternatives that facilitate their goals.
