Capital Stack

Where Private Credit Sits in the Capital Stack.

Private credit can be structured at different levels within a property transaction's capital stack, providing flexible funding where traditional bank lending may be insufficient or too slow.

Rumo Finance structures facilities across senior, second mortgage and mezzanine positions depending on the transaction.

Private credit lenders often participate across multiple levels of the capital stack depending on the risk profile and structure of the transaction.

Typical Private Credit Parameters
Loan size: $250k – $10M+
Combined LVR: Up to maximum 75–80%
Term: 3 – 24 months
Indicative credit outcomes: 24–72 hours
