Private-capital financing is a non-bank financing alternative: instead of a bank, it is private capital — funds, investors and specialised entities — that finances the operation. It emerged strongly when traditional banking restricted credit to companies, the self-employed and developers, and today it is an established part of the business landscape.
Against the rigidity of the banking channel, its distinctive trait is to give value to the collateral and to the strength of the project, and to accelerate a process that is traditionally slow. At Dexter we structure every operation around the asset, the term and the purpose of the capital.
Several formulas coexist under the private-capital umbrella. The right structure depends on the asset, the horizon and the purpose of the operation.
Loans secured by a first-rank mortgage over a property — the fastest route for developers and companies with assets.
Ver páginaCapital backed by corporate or personal guarantees when there is no property to mortgage.
Vehicles that pool capital from professional investors to enter companies and projects with high potential, as a temporary partner.
Liquidity and growth capital for companies that banks do not cover — restructuring, expansion or consolidation.
Private-capital financing does not replace banking: it complements it where banking does not reach.

A private-capital loan is the most common formula within alternative financing: a loan granted by non-bank capital — debt funds, private-equity vehicles, specialised entities and institutional investors. At Dexter Global Finance we act as structurers of these operations — more than 90% of the capital we mobilise is of institutional origin, originated through a network of more than 90 national and international entities. The client does not have to find an investor: they present the operation, and our team analyses it, structures it, negotiates it and accompanies it through to signing before a notary.
The requirements depart from bank requirements on one essential point: the analysis centres on the asset, the collateral and the exit plan, not on the applicant's scoring. No impeccable banking history is required, the operation is not registered in CIRBE — which preserves borrowing capacity with other lenders — and there are no upfront fees or tying obligations at any stage of the study.
Companies, developers, investors and individuals can all apply: the admission criterion is not the nature of the applicant, but the quality of the asset, the rank of the collateral and the credibility of the exit plan. Every file is analysed individually and with absolute confidentiality from first contact.
Response timelines are the most tangible difference versus the banking circuit. After first contact, the team issues a feasibility response with judgement within 24–48 hours; if the operation fits, a term sheet with the proposed structure follows. Due diligence — independent appraisal, legal review of the asset and verification of the exit plan — advances in parallel, and the closing is elevated to public deed before a notary with inscription in the Land Registry. In operations with clean mortgage collateral, the full process is typically resolved in weeks, not months.
The conditions match that speed without hidden charges: no prepayment penalty — the loan can be settled at any time at no additional cost — and structures that banks do not contemplate, such as bullet loans with capital repaid at maturity or grace periods adapted to the phase of the project. For the full mechanics of a bridge operation, see our bridge loans page; for development and land financing, our developer loans and land loans pages. In practice, these are the terms we work with:
First-rank mortgage over a property in operations with real collateral — residential, commercial, hospitality, logistics, industrial or land. Corporate guarantees, pledges and personal guarantees are also admitted.
Up to 50% of the asset's independent appraisal value — or of the value of the finished project in development operations. The specific LTV is set case by case according to the liquidity, condition and location of the property.
Operations between €1,000,000 and €150,000,000, with financing of up to 36 months and interest payable monthly or at the maturity of the loan.
A verifiable exit event — sale of the asset, bank refinancing or incoming funds — is the requirement that underpins the whole structure.
Private capital for companies has ceased to be an exceptional resource and become an ordinary financial-management tool in Spain. Industrial, asset-holding, hotel and services companies use it to cover what banks cannot attend to in time or in structure: immediate liquidity against group assets, debt restructuring and consolidation, purchase of strategic assets or capital for expansion. The criterion is not the nature of the applicant — we finance companies and individuals alike — but the quality of the asset and the fit of the operation.
Dexter has been structuring this type of operation for more than twenty years, with more than 1,200 operations managed. The firm has its head office in Marbella and a deep operational link with Málaga and the Costa del Sol — one of the most dynamic real-estate and business markets in the country, where developers and international investors work to timelines that traditional banking can rarely accompany. That local base coexists with active origination in Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia and the rest of Spain, and with an international commercial network across Europe and Latin America.
For the business owner, the path is always the same: confidential presentation of the operation, a feasibility response within 24–48 hours and a structure tailored to the asset, the term and the purpose of the capital. A representative selection of closed operations — from residential developments on the Costa del Sol to corporate capital in Madrid — can be consulted on our completed-operations page.
They are investment vehicles that pool capital from professional investors to finance companies or projects with growth potential, acting as a temporary partner with an active role in management.
Private capital prioritises speed, flexibility and coverage, and evaluates the asset and the exit plan rather than bank scoring.
Not always. There are formulas with and without real collateral, depending on the asset and the profile of the operation.
Urban-development and business projects, with tickets from €1,000,000 to €150,000,000.
The property is mortgaged in first rank in favour of the lender, with coverage of up to 50% of its independent appraisal value and a term of up to 36 months. After the feasibility response within 24–48 hours and due diligence, the loan is elevated to public deed before a notary and inscribed in the Land Registry. The operation does not appear in CIRBE and can be cancelled early without penalty.
Yes, although these are more selective operations. When there is no property to mortgage, the structure rests on corporate guarantees, pledges or personal guarantees, and the analysis gives greater weight to the strength of the company and the exit plan. The mortgage-backed route remains the fastest and the one with the highest coverage; the corporate alternative is studied case by case.
The initial feasibility response arrives within 24–48 hours of first contact. If the operation fits, the term sheet is issued within days and due diligence — appraisal, legal review and verification of the exit plan — advances in parallel. In operations with clean mortgage collateral, the notarial closing and drawdown are typically resolved in weeks, versus the two to three months usual in the banking circuit.
