Private Credit and Direct Lending
Supporting the next generation of private capital transactions
Private credit has become a significant source of financing for businesses, infrastructure projects, real estate, and asset-backed transactions. As the market continues to evolve, borrowers and lenders require experienced independent providers who can support increasingly sophisticated financing structures from execution through ongoing administration.
CSC works with private credit funds, direct lenders, institutional investors, borrowers, and legal advisers, providing independent loan agency, corporate trust, escrow, and special purpose vehicle (SPV) services across a broad range of private credit transactions.

Why independent transaction support matters
Private credit transactions often require tailored financing structures, multiple lenders, and ongoing administration over many years. As portfolios grow and facilities evolve through amendments, refinancings, and secondary transactions, independent providers help ensure operational continuity and efficient administration throughout the life of the facility.
Whether acting as facility agent, security agent, collateral agent, or supporting the underlying SPV structure, CSC provides the operational expertise needed to help transactions continue running smoothly beyond financial close.
