Private credit lender directory.
A reference list of 200 independent, non-bank private credit lenders, compiled from their own public websites. These are public listings, not Arillum members.
Public listings only. These are not Arillum members or profiles.
The firms below are listed from information on their own public websites. None of them has joined Arillum through this directory, and a listing doesn’t mean a firm works with, endorses or has reviewed Arillum, or that it will consider your deal. You can’t send them a teaser through Arillum: contact them through their own websites. Details were checked in October 2026 and may since have changed.
