$25M to $2B · One counterparty from supplier deposit through term
Financing an AI buildout usually means three lenders and two renegotiations.
Someone funds the deposit. Someone else bridges the hardware. Then, with the cluster already running, you go find a term lender and re-paper everything at whatever price the market gives you that week. Meanwhile the bulge brackets are too slow, venture debt is too small, and private credit wants covenants on your operating company.
The result: operators give up equity they shouldn't, or accept terms their customer contracts don't deserve, just to keep the order moving.
Radford does all three. One counterparty, deposit to term.
Deposit. Bridge. Term. One lender.

Where your deal lands comes down to these five things — nothing else.
Investment-grade anchor tenant vs. spot compute.
Chipset generation, location, and how easily the hardware can be redeployed.
A country where we can perfect and enforce the lien.

Radford is the merchant bank for the AI buildout. Two businesses: AI infrastructure finance from deposit through term, and federal program advisory.

Questions borrowers ask first.
Both. That is the point. We fund the deposit, the bridge from purchase order to power-on, and we hold 36 to 48 month term paper once the cluster is live and contracted. You are not hunting for a takeout while your hardware sits idle.
Term debt typically ranges from 9% to 12% depending on the quality of the off-taker, LTV and hardware. You get an indicative number in 48 hours, confirmed at term sheet.
48 hours to indicative pricing. Two to eight weeks to close, depending on structure and jurisdiction. On a standing line, an approved deal can draw the same day.
The asset and the contract — not your balance sheet. First lien on the equipment plus contracted offtake. Non-recourse to the operating company.
Their AI infrastructure desks are built for very large deals and long close cycles. Mid-market deals fall below their minimums or move too fast for their committee cadence. Radford was built for the band in between: one tier below the bulge brackets, one tier above venture debt.
It is the other half of what we do. For deals from $50M to $2B+, EXIM, DFC, and DOE programs typically save 200 to 450 basis points a year and add 60 months or more of tenor. We originate and structure those transactions directly, with relationships built at Treasury level across two administrations. Start with the readiness assessment.
