Strictly speaking "private equity" investors only invest in "equity" not loans (debt) - in otherwords the common stock of a company. They will team up with a bank or other insitututional investor (such as a hedge fund) who will provide debt and also quasi-equity (such as "mezzanine" finance which looks like a loan but has risks closer to equity).
Examples of large private equity providers are KKR, Blackstone and the Carlyle Group.
