Elev8 Corporate Finance, the private credit advisor behind the GrowthBridge platform, has rolled out a new compensation structure that replaces traditional broker commissions with a single flat engagement fee and a performance-based exit fee. The change frees more capital for borrowers on day one while tying Elev8’s earnings to a successful refinance or payoff.
“Borrowers now see one clear number up front, then pay the balance only when the bridge does its job,” said Greg Williams, Founder of Elev8. “It aligns our incentives with the CEO’s ultimate goal: a clean, lower-cost take-out.”
Under the new model, clients avoid stacked origination points and hidden monitoring charges. Instead, they pay a fixed engagement fee to secure underwriting and lender alignment. A performance-based success fee is due only when the bridge loan refinances or is paid off. If Elev8 secures the next facility, we discount the exit fee to reward loyalty.

The firm’s GrowthBridge program offers two tracks. GrowthBridge Core funds bridge loans from $500,000 to $2 million in as little as one to three weeks, making it ideal for Merchant Cash Advance refinance, rapid working capital, and opportunistic growth. GrowthBridge Select covers $2 million to $30 million-plus transactions in roughly three to five weeks, supporting acquisitions, large-scale debt consolidation, and capital-expenditure projects. Both tracks emphasize senior-secured structures with flexible payment options and monthly or interest-only schedules that preserve cash flow.

Recent transactions underscore the model’s impact. In a $4.5 million refinance for a Texas-based distributor, Elev8’s flat-fee approach reduced financing costs by 70 percent, directed cash back into inventory, and closed in under three weeks without any equity dilution.

According to the client’s CFO, “Elev8’s transparent fee structure put six figures back into our working capital and eliminated daily cash drains. It felt like a true partnership from start to finish.”
Elev8’s disciplined cash-flow underwriting and two decades of private credit expertise have produced a loan default rate below one percent while consistently funding deals in weeks rather than quarters. By offering a rebate on the exit fee when borrowers transition to a permanent bank or asset-based facility, Elev8 also establishes a natural loyalty loop that rewards long-term collaboration.
