We underwrite before
we place capital.
Every transaction is evaluated internally before it reaches a lender — so when we bring a deal forward, it closes.
Institutional discipline applied to middle-market transactions.
Baruk sits between sponsors and the capital markets. We take a deal apart before a capital partner ever sees it — sponsor track record, sources and uses, basis, and exit — then place it only where it has a genuine path to closing.
Two platforms. One underwriting standard.
A process built to protect the term sheet.
Four stages, in order, every time. The discipline is the product.
Intake
We review your deal, sponsor profile, and capital stack before committing resources. Not every deal is right for our network, and we'll tell you honestly if it isn't.
Underwriting
Before your deal reaches a single lender or capital partner, we stress-test the sponsor profile, the numbers, and the exit. This step catches problems before they cost you a declined term sheet.
Capital Match
We match your deal to the capital sources most likely to actually close it — by geography, asset class, size, and structure — rather than mass-emailing a lender list.
Close
We stay engaged through diligence and closing, coordinating with counsel, title, and your capital partner to keep the timeline on track.
