Niche fund gets $2.6M facility

Beechbrook Capital provided the working‑capital facility to Allegro through funds managed on behalf of the British Business Bank, supporting the lender’s initial operating runway. (screendaily.com) The facility follows Allegro’s March 25, 2026 announcement of a US$500 million strategic joint venture and senior funding line with entities advised by Elliott Advisors UK Limited, creating a two‑tier funding architecture. (deadline.com) Allegro, launched in 2024 by Jamie Lowe, Peter Touche and Sam Collett, positions itself as a specialist non‑bank senior lender financing production receivables including tax credits, presale distribution guarantees and unsold rights. (deadline.com) Legal advisors Travers Smith advised Allegro on a securitised warehouse facility and related senior and junior secured financing arrangements that underpin the platform’s institutional credit structure. (traverssmith.com) Company statements say the working‑capital line will be deployed to scale origination, underwriting and operational infrastructure across Allegro’s film & TV lending platform. (alternativecreditinvestor.com) The capital stack — public‑mandated funds routed via Beechbrook alongside Elliott‑advised institutional lines — creates demand for faster originations, automated document workflows and asset‑level reporting; Solifi’s recent Solifi Document Intelligence claims up to a 70% reduction in document verification time and its Originations release adds automated asset uploads and API integrations. (alternativecreditinvestor.com) Comparable lenders already using Solifi’s platform to scale include Rosenthal & Rosenthal (equipment finance implementation), ALL Capital (Solifi ABL for a new launch) and Access Capital (upgrade to Solifi ABL), while Solifi’s acquisition of DataScan expands floorplan capabilities — concrete examples of systems that can support rapid growth in niche lending channels.
