Press release · May 2026 funding activity
A look inside where private credit went to work in May 2026: 22 fundings, $3.84 million, and seven economic regions of North America.
Chicago, June 12, 2026. Capital Source®, through its Private Credit Division, closed 22 transactions totaling $3.84 million in May 2026, financing operators across 18 states and provinces spanning seven economic regions of North America. The month’s activity reflects steady demand for flexible private credit across construction, manufacturing, transportation, healthcare, business services, communications, retail, and wholesale. The mix was deliberately diversified rather than concentrated in a single sector.
Behind each line on the list is a real operating need: working capital to bridge a cash-flow gap, equipment to take on more work, inventory ahead of a season, delivery capacity to meet demand, or capital to fund the next stage of growth. That is the kind of financing we structure around each business’s cash cycle.
Where the capital went in May 2026
In May 2026, Capital Source’s Private Credit Division deployed $3.84 million across seven economic regions of North America, led by the Southwest ($1.32 million) and the South ($1.12 million). The breakdown below groups the month’s fundings by economic region rather than by individual state or province.
Economic regions follow the common five-region grouping of U.S. states, with Canadian provinces shown by region.
