Bps on facilities on the tape
They sell a faster close to administrators, not access to a crowd.

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
They sell a faster close to administrators, not access to a crowd.
Why the desk took it
A redacted facility list landed in week one.
Traction
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
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
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
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.
Window
Closed
Closed. History only — not a place to buy.
Our TAM is an invoice the customer already pays. A coin would not make it larger. It would make the licence harder.

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

The bet
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

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

Operating week
The wedge
Next twelve months
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.

Readiness
Six things a serious buyer asks. 100 is “ready to take to counsel and a customer.”
Risks
The one that actually kills it
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.
The moment this looks like a public book, it is a venue. This pad will not list that.
Who owns the tape when a fund leaves? If that is unsigned, the enterprise value is a conversation.
A default cluster will test whether the product is a record or a reputation.
Retail is prohibited. Any ‘access token’ story is a different company.
If a fund leaves and the tape stays, who owns the history? Unsigned, the enterprise value is a conversation.
The administrator, CCP, scheme or custodian can ship this as a checkbox. Anvil has to be cheaper or faster before that happens.

Where they can operate
Named markets are where a sentence is allowed. Restricted is where it is not. This is not a worldwide offering.

Named with them
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.
