, /PRNewswire/ -- Pasadena Private Lending (PPL), a pioneer in the lower middle market lending space, proudly announces it has surpassed $300 million in loans closed since its founding. This milestone reflects the firm's ongoing commitment to providing flexible, creative capital solutions to successful entrepreneurs across the United States while remaining rooted in its mission to drive innovation, empower business builders, and foster lasting partnerships.

Headquartered in Pasadena, California, PPL offers $2-15 million senior secured business loans to growing companies nationwide. The firm has earned a reputation for taking an entrepreneurial approach to credit, combining speed, sound judgment, and deep expertise to help businesses with $1-5 million in EBITDA access the capital they need to scale and adapt in a dynamic and increasingly specialized economic landscape.

"Crossing this threshold reflects more than just capital deployed - it represents hundreds of stories, businesses empowered, and opportunities realized," said Iain A. Whyte, Founder & Chief Executive Officer of Pasadena Private Lending. "We approach each transaction with an operator's mindset: nimble, collaborative, and relentlessly focused on helping our clients win. Our success is rooted in our deep belief in entrepreneurship and our drive to support the bold, ambitious people building the companies of tomorrow."

With its team comprised of former bankers, PPL understands firsthand the challenges entrepreneurs face navigating traditional credit processes. "We have experience in a myriad of industries and situations and try to put ourselves in the position of a prospective borrower," said Mike McAdams, President of Pasadena Private Lending. "We understand the challenges with traditional lending institutions and as former bankers ourselves, we know how to underwrite prudently using our experience and judgment."

That disciplined-yet-pragmatic credit process has led to an extraordinary track record. "PPL's credit process has resulted in zero losses and less than half of U.S. corporate debt defaults to date," added Jason Schlecter, Director of Credit Research.

As the firm continues to grow, its mission remains clear: drive innovation, empower entrepreneurship, and champion ambitious operators across the U.S. through capital partnerships designed to build real, lasting value.
