The window is 0 days. After that Anvil archives. Diligence does not reopen as a live conversation.

Anvil — A system of record for private-credit funds and desks: tapes, RFQs, or covenants that update when a borrower files. The buyers already have a book. This is plumbing, not a venue that matches strangers.

Closed on this board. Any capital event was completed with the issuer’s own providers. RCA Pad took 0%.

Closed. The live conversation is over. The pack remains as archive.

Diligence, not a prospectus. RCA Pad does not allocate, take orders, or close funding. If this company raises, it raises with its own counsel.

The wedge

Bps on facilities on the tape

They sell a faster close to administrators, not access to a crowd.

Why the desk took it

A real job, not a ticker.

A redacted facility list landed in week one.

Traction

5 named pilots (redacted).

Founded 2026, headquartered in Manchester. 5 named pilots on file (identities redacted in public). 5,099 on the waitlist, gated — product demand, not a book built. 21 nodes or connected surfaces reported. Desk diligence score 78/100. A named Manchester administrator who already signs the pack (redacted). Counsel is named, even if the memo is still a draft. Unnamed counsel is how files die.

Next 12 months

Ten live facilities or this is still a lab.

eFront and Allvue are funds’ books. This is the tape between funds. They win if they are cheaper than the internal build, not cheaper than a protocol.

The brief

How a serious reader should hold this.

You can wait for a sticker. The named customer did not. They are writing into this record while the rest of the market argues about a comment period.

Read this as an operating company, not a round. Counsel has a posture: Manchester · closed private round. Restricted markets stay dark. RCA Pad takes 0% if they ever raise. That combination is why inbound did not need a ticker.

A sentence went public and came down in under an hour. Marcus Ng treated the kill as an operating skill, not a PR event. Files that cannot do this do not stay listed.

From the pilot

Fixed fee. Deposit to start. 0% of proceeds. Token-only pay is declined. Percentage of raise is declined.

From counsel

A dual-control drill exists on paper. Production evidence is the next artefact, not a tweet.

From the screen

The legal source of truth stays with the incumbent register, admin, or custodian. Anvil does not attest to its own facts.

The window

Miss this and you read the archive.

Founders who want a pack this tight apply. Readers who wait get a closed stamp.

The comment period is not a path. This company is priced as if that is already true.

If you are a founder who wants a pack like this: apply. If you are a buyer: call them — not us.

Our TAM is an invoice the customer already pays. A coin would not make it larger. It would make the licence harder.

This company

Anvil

Services firms hide in ‘platform’ language. Anvil sells a seat plus an event. Named.

The bet

Why this company exists.

They sell a faster close to administrators, not access to a crowd.

They sell a faster close to administrators, not access to a crowd.

Allocators want daily marks and covenant visibility. Banks want to originate without building a chain team. The first honest tape that does not pretend to be an exchange will be paid for as software.

Private credit AUM is measured in trillions. The software take-rate is small. The switching cost, once a tape is the record, is not.

Versus the field

The incumbent brand sells the relationship. Anvil sells the job the brand will not staff. A protocol pitch is the thing this company has already refused. Open-source looks free until the auditor asks who attests.

The live path is Manchester · closed private round. Proposed Regulation Crypto Assets is not treated as a calendar slot. Build as if it never opens.

How it works

  1. 01A loan or covenant event is written once
  2. 02Permissioned counterparties see what they are allowed to see
  3. 03Marks and RFQs stay inside named desks
  4. 04No public order book, no retail
  5. 05Default and amendment events are first-class, not a PDF in a side channel
  6. 06The legal source of truth stays with the incumbent register, admin, or custodian.

If they raise

Where the money would actually go.

Not a token float. A budget against work. RCA Pad still takes 0% of proceeds.

  • Claims & campaign ops

    31%

    Adapter work against the incumbent register, admin, or custodian.

  • Named operators

    21%

    A counsel memo that can survive a later reader.

  • Counsel & perimeter

    16%

    Keeping the public story from running ahead of the claims register.

  • Certifications & adapters

    32%

    Dual-control drills, key ceremonies, and the person who owns them.

Operating week

What “in market” actually looks like.

  1. WedCounselPerimeter diffs. If the site drifted from the memo, the site moves — not the memo.
  2. SunOwnersWho can decide messaging and budget on a recorded line. If the answer is nobody, stop.
  3. TueExceptionsOvernight breaks post back into the customer’s case system. No side book.
  4. FriKill switchRehearse unpublish in 24 hours. If it takes a committee, it is not a switch.

The wedge

Why this one, not the other one.

They sell
Bps on facilities on the tape
Who pays
A named Manchester administrator who already signs the pack (redacted).
Unit economics
They win if they are cheaper than the internal build, not cheaper than a protocol.
Moat on file
Administrator of record has signed a dual-control letter.
Switching cost
Permissioned connectivity is the moat. Public endpoints would erase it.
Vs the comps
eFront and Allvue are funds’ books. This is the tape between funds.
Why we listed it
A redacted facility list landed in week one.

Next twelve months

What has to be true.

Ten live facilities or this is still a lab.

Counsel is named, even if the memo is still a draft. Unnamed counsel is how files die.

They have not asked us to run a sale. That ask would close the file.

Traction

What you can verify today.

Founded 2026, headquartered in Manchester. 5 named pilots on file (identities redacted in public). 5,099 on the waitlist, gated — product demand, not a book built. 21 nodes or connected surfaces reported. Desk diligence score 78/100. A named Manchester administrator who already signs the pack (redacted). Counsel is named, even if the memo is still a draft. Unnamed counsel is how files die.

  • Operating notes for EVM · proof of concept
  • No token contract listed as a public sale
  • Pilot letters on file, identities redacted
  • Manchester is the operating centre
  • The waitlist, if any, is a product list — not a book
  • Raise, if any, closed with issuer providers

Risks

What can kill it.

The one that actually kills it

Counsel is a slide

Unnamed counsel is how companies die in diligence. Manchester · closed private round has to be a memo you can file, not a slogan on the hero.

Marketplace slip

The moment this looks like a public book, it is a venue. This pad will not list that.

Data rights

Who owns the tape when a fund leaves? If that is unsigned, the enterprise value is a conversation.

Credit cycle

A default cluster will test whether the product is a record or a reputation.

Retail

Retail is prohibited. Any ‘access token’ story is a different company.

Data rights on exit

If a fund leaves and the tape stays, who owns the history? Unsigned, the enterprise value is a conversation.

Incumbent feature

The administrator, CCP, scheme or custodian can ship this as a checkbox. Anvil has to be cheaper or faster before that happens.

Ask these next

  1. 01Has counsel written the perimeter in a memo you can file?
  2. 02Which geography is actually locked, and which is a hope?
  3. 03What happens if a founder later wants a public token?
  4. 04What does renewal look like if no round ever happens?
  5. 05Who is the first named paying customer — not a letter of intent?
  6. 06Which incumbent can copy this in a quarter, and what would they have to migrate?

Named vs off-limits.

Named markets are where a sentence is allowed. Restricted is where it is not. This is not a worldwide offering.

Who can decide

Marcus Ng came in named. The team is not a handle. Anvil Ltd exists, founded 2026, headquartered in Manchester. Anonymity would have been an automatic decline.

A second counterparty writing into the record is the only network effect that counts. One customer is a consultancy. Two is a market.
