The 2026 Private Capital Markets Report states median required returns from the Pepperdine private cost of capital survey deployed in January 2026. A $5 million bank loan costs a median 6.8% a year. Private equity groups require a median 25% return on a company with $5 million of EBITDA, seed-stage venture investors require a median 28%, and pre-seed angel investors require a median 33%.
Owners planning a sale and exit advisors can benchmark January 2026 bank, mezzanine, private equity, venture, and angel costs, then compare broker sale multiples, buyer types, and months to close by deal size.
