A primary specialism, not a line item under credit. We place origination, underwriting, structuring, portfolio, and capital-formation talent across the asset-based and specialty finance landscape.
Asset-based finance has moved from the margins to the center of private credit — and the talent market hasn't caught up.
We focus on it as a primary specialism, so we understand the distinctions that matter when you're hiring: the difference between asset-based lending and asset-based finance, borrowing-base and advance-rate mechanics, and the way underwriting, structuring, and origination talent maps differently across sub-asset classes. That depth is the point. We maintain a working map of the market — who's building, who's raising, who's moving — so a search doesn't start from a blank page. It starts from a shortlist.
Coverage spans the breadth of the asset-based and specialty finance market.
You get someone who already speaks the language, not someone who'll ask you to explain what a borrowing base is. We come to the first call with a point of view on the market and a sense of who's realistically in play.
We won't blast your resume across the street. ABF is a small world and reputations travel — so we're careful, discreet, and honest about fit. If a role isn't right for you, we'll say so.
Whether you're hiring into a specialty finance platform or thinking carefully about where you take your career next, the first conversation is the same: honest, specific, and no obligation.
