The sub-$10 million ABL facility space has long been a paradox.  Over the years, new capital providers havee entered only to chase too few loans, while incumbent asset-based lenders shift and migrate strategy.  This creates a shortfall of good assets, and the cycle continues.  But it’s not always that easy.  Right now, we sit in what should soon be the start of a brand new cycle thanks to Covid-19. The past few years have been brutally competitive for the sub-$10 million ABL industry given the new entrants, specialization and certain vintage firms migrating upmarket.  Top of the market, like the last few years, may seem like an auspicious time to raise capital to form a new ABL shop, but that is exactly what happened in expectation of a re-set. The difference now is that the bar is higher and the need for scale or a point of difference, whether it be industry focus, national scale or selling strategy, has never been greater.
