About European Credit Company
Europe is at an inflection point, with long-term transformation taking place across its economies. The capital-intensive nature of further industrialisation, digital and traditional infrastructure, defence and decarbonisation means that companies are facing a multi-trillion-euro demand for financing solutions.
Meeting Europe’s financing needs requires significant pools of flexible, long-term capital. Companies and sponsors across the large and middle markets, as well as real asset owners of infrastructure and real estate, seek tailored financing solutions to capitalise their transformative growth plans.
ECC was purpose-built to serve as trusted lending partner to European businesses. Backed by long-term capital from Apollo and other blue-chip global investors and financial institutions, ECC combines its own, locally embedded origination and underwriting capabilities with access to the breadth of Apollo's European credit platform and strategic partnerships with European financial institutions. The result is a dedicated pan-European platform with deep local knowledge and institutional scale to deliver tailored credit solutions.
Our Approach
ECC’s approach is anchored in four pillars:
Multi-Product Origination
We provide a multitude of lending solutions, allowing us to partner with clients to form the right product for their unique needs and growth initiatives. ECC is active across both large and mid-market direct lending, infrastructure and commercial real estate lending and other forms of asset-backed finance.
Competitive Cost of Capital
ECC invests in performing credit and is focused on leveraging its long-term balance sheet to provide clients with an attractive borrowing cost.
Local Expertise, Pan-European Reach
We have deep local market knowledge and partnerships across key European jurisdictions. ECC launches with on-the-ground presence in Frankfurt, Jersey, London, Luxembourg and Milan and plans to expand to additional markets.
Strategic Partnerships
ECC partners with leading European financial institutions, complementing their origination capabilities and increasing the availability of long-term lending capital for clients across the continent.
