FINANCING EXCEL DESCRIPTION

This product (Private Credit Fund - 10 Year Financial Model) is an Excel template (XLSX), which you can download immediately upon purchase.

A private credit fund is an investment vehicle that provides loans directly to businesses outside of public bond markets, typically targeting middle-market companies and special situations where flexible, customized financing is valued. The fund earns returns primarily through interest income, upfront fees, and sometimes equity-linked upside, while managing risk through underwriting standards, covenants, collateral, and active portfolio monitoring. Private credit strategies can include senior secured lending, unitranche, mezzanine, and distressed debt, often offering investors predictable cash yields with diversification beyond traditional public fixed income.

This 10-year Private Credit Fund financial model is built to support fund structuring, fundraising, and investment decision-making from launch through wind-down. It forecasts capital commitments and calls, loan origination and portfolio ramp-up, interest and fee income, defaults and recoveries, operating costs and management fees, and fund liquidity over time. The model also includes a full investor waterfall—preferred return, return of capital, and carried interest—producing clear performance metrics such as IRR, MOIC, and cash distributions to show how value is shared between LPs and the GP.

The model follows Financial Modeling Best Practices and is fully customizable.

Detailed instructions for the use of the model are included in the excel file.
