The problem

You're missing signals that close loans.

Loan maturities, covenant pressure, new-CFO appointments, sponsor acquisitions, growth-capital triggers - these events happen every day across your credit-box universe. Most lending teams find out weeks or months later, if at all. By then, the borrower is already shopping term sheets with three other lenders.

Signal use cases

The right signal for every credit-origination motion.

Different lenders chase different triggers. Here's how origination teams across the lending spectrum use Trigger Intelligence.

Refinancing windows

Loan maturities, UCC filings, rate-environment shifts

Track senior facility maturities, UCC-filed lender of record, and rate environment shifts. Reach borrowers 6–12 months before they're shopping term sheets - when the conversation is most pricing-relevant.

Growth capital

Headcount surges, facility leases, new-market entry

Companies showing rapid hiring, new facility leases, or new-market entry are signalling upcoming capital needs. Position your firm as the first conversation before the growth round forces a debt raise.

Acquisition finance

Sponsor closes, LOI announcements, deal-stage triggers

PE sponsors and corporate acquirers need debt the moment a deal closes. We track sponsor close announcements and acquisition signals, so your firm is in the conversation before the syndication starts.

Portfolio monitoring

Leadership changes, covenant pressure, sector headwinds

Monitor your existing borrower book for early-warning signals - CFO departures, covenant drift, sector headwinds, margin compression. Surface refinancing, restructuring, or cross-sell opportunities before they become problems.

Sponsor coverage

PE portfolio mapping, fund deployment, add-on activity

Map PE-backed portfolio companies in your sweet spot. We monitor sponsor activity - fund closes, add-on acquisitions, portfolio capital events - so your team is positioned ahead of every sponsor-led financing.

Distressed / restructuring

Covenant breaches, downgrades, restructuring counsel hires

For special-situation and restructuring lenders: monitor for covenant breaches, ratings downgrades, restructuring advisor retentions, and other distress markers. Reach the borrower at the moment rescue capital becomes the conversation.

Signals find the borrower. Origination creates the conversation.

Why signals work

Timing beats volume. Every time.

Generic outreach gets 1–2% reply rates. Signal-timed outreach - reaching the right CFO or owner at the moment a capital-event trigger creates urgency - consistently outperforms by 3–5x. The difference isn't the message. It's the timing.

FAQ

Common questions

Any trigger that indicates a company may need debt capital. Common signals include loan maturity countdowns (UCC filings, SBA loan data, public debt schedules), covenant pressure (interest coverage deterioration, leverage drift), growth triggers (new facility leases, headcount expansion, new market entry), sponsor activity (PE acquisition closed, fund deployment pressure), leadership changes (new CFO, new treasurer), and competitive credit events (refinancing announcements, capital raises). We define signals specific to your credit box during the scoping session.

Wherever your originators work. We integrate with CRMs (Salesforce, HubSpot, nCino, DealCloud), messaging (Slack, Teams), and email. Signals include full context - source attribution, confidence score, credit-box fit, existing debt structure, and recommended next action. No new tool to learn. We also offer API webhooks for lenders with internal scoring pipelines or custom tooling.

Data providers give you static company records. Trigger Intelligence monitors for dynamic capital events - things happening right now that indicate borrowing timing. A company's revenue and headcount don't change much week to week. But when their senior facility matures in 8 months, or their main competitor just refinanced, or their new CFO has prior experience with a competing lender - those are the signals that create transaction timing. We monitor for those and deliver them proactively.

Signals start arriving within the first week. The scoping session defines your credit box and trigger criteria, then we configure monitoring and delivery. Most lenders receive their first batch of scored signals within 5 business days of kickoff. Signal volume and quality improve over time as we refine criteria based on which signals your originators act on.

Trigger Intelligence is built for commercial lending teams across the spectrum - bank C&I groups, private credit funds, direct lenders, asset-based lenders, SBA lenders, equipment finance, and specialty/vertical lenders. Whether you're a 3-person origination team at a regional bank or a 50-person private credit platform, the service scales to your credit box and origination velocity.

No. Trigger Intelligence is a managed service. Tentt handles signal definition, monitoring infrastructure, data enrichment, and delivery configuration. Your originators receive scored, contextualised signals in their existing tools - they don't log into a separate platform. You're buying an outcome (timely borrower intelligence), not a software subscription.
