Close Faster. Mitigate Risk. Elevate Governance.

Today’s capital markets demand more than execution — they demand accountability. As a debt underwriter or placement agent, your job is to move capital efficiently, and meet investor expectations. But with growing governance scrutiny, complex issuers, and high-stakes documentation, you need a governance resource that strengthens your process and protects your platform.
Pentalpha Governance is your trusted advisor - our systems review your issuers unstructured document set and will provide assurance that all risk scenarios were addressed

The Challenge is having Speed, Accuracy and Reputation in a Closely Watched Market

Whether you’re structuring a private ABS, CLO, or CMBS transaction, you face:

And in private placements? You’re operating without the public-market safety net. 

The Pentalpha Solution: Structured Credit’s Independent Source of Truth

Pentalpha provides hands-on, detail-driven governance and compliance support for placement agents and underwriters — helping you enhance your deal’s credibility, reduce litigation exposure, and close faster with confidence. 

Our services Include:

Pre-Closing Support:

We assess whether the issuer’s disclosures match real-world risk — especially around borrower vulnerabilities, control risks, and structural governance gaps.

We compare the full 3,000+ page closing contract set to the 150-page OM summary — highlighting any dropped or diluted material language that may affect investors or litigation posture. 

We help you embed smarter, more effective control mechanisms and third-party monitoring into the deal from day one.

Post-Closing Protection:

We track trading activity and identify risky control parties — helping you stay ahead of reputational exposure.

We act as embedded supervisors to ensure loan modifications and operational actions align with the original deal intent — not subordinate investor agendas.

Through our DebtGov® framework, we help you lead on the “G” in ESG — turning governance integrity into a market differentiator.
