I.The Four Steps
From first email to money on the wire.
01
Quote — 48 hours
Send the size, the asset, and the timing. We come back with indicative pricing and structure, or a straight no.
02
Diligence
Hardware, offtake, site, and jurisdiction. One diligence pack that carries across deposit, bridge, and term.
03
Close — 2 to 8 weeks
Documents signed, first lien perfected, insurance assigned. Deposit and bridge fund from the same paperwork.
04
Draw, deploy, term out
We wire the OEM, the hardware installs, and the facility converts into Radford term debt on pre-agreed pricing.
— You never have to go shopping for a takeout. We are it.
II.What Moves Your Rate
Terms that fit the deal you actually have.
Term debt starts at competitive rates. Where your deal lands between comes down to five things: the quality of your offtake, your chipset generation, your advance rate, the jurisdiction, and the tenor you want.
Nothing else moves the number. No relationship pricing, no committee theatre.
III.Deposit → Bridge → Term
We fund the deposit, the build, and the years that follow.
Up to 70% of your supplier deposit goes straight to the OEM. The bridge covers 120 days from purchase order to power-on. Once the cluster is live and contracted, the facility converts into term debt on pricing agreed at the start.
One deal at a time
Built around a specific deployment.
A single facility. One set of paperwork with you and your OEM, sized to the asset and the contracts behind it. Best for one-off orders.
A standing line
Terms agreed up front. Same-day draw.
Set up once. Every approved deal draws same-day against terms agreed up front, and you only pay when you draw. The line grows as you build a track record.

IV.Federal Advisory
Government-backed pricing private lenders can't match.
For deals from $50M to $2B, with an export nexus, U.S. government programs typically save 200 to 400 basis points a year and add 60 months or more of tenor. We originate and structure those transactions directly, with relationships built at Treasury level across two administrations.

— Whether a deal qualifies depends on where the hardware ships, who pays for it, and who's using it. Check your readiness with our complimentary assessment.
V.How the paperwork flows
Money to your OEM. Hardware to you.
We sign one set of paperwork with you and your OEM. Capital wires straight to the OEM against shipment confirmation. The hardware ships with our security interest attached. Insurance is assigned to us as lender of record.
On install and customer sign-off, the facility either converts to Radford term debt or — if you already have a term lender you prefer — hands off to them. Your operating company is never on the hook.
