The demand for private credit continues to grow as more people opt for it over traditional loans. Abacus Finance adds investment analyst Toby Nabavian and expands Assets Under Management to boost lending capacity for lower-middle market companies.
— According to the Alternative Investment Management Association, the value of the private credit market was $3.5 trillion in 2025. As the market expands, demand for lower-middle market financing continues to rise. Still, many lenders are struggling to find reliable partners who can deliver funds without slowing deals down.
Abacus Finance is meeting the rising demand for private credit. Over the past few years, the firm has nearly doubled its investment capacity. The update will support lower-middle market lending activity for private equity-backed companies. It will also help private equity sponsors close transactions with higher certainty.
Many lower-middle market deals move on tight timelines. Slight financing delays can put transactions at risk. When lenders need to gather capital after a deal is already in motion, the process takes longer than expected.
The team at Abacus Finance says the growth will give them more flexibility in how deals are funded, like supporting larger deals without changing its lending rules. With committed capital, clients get faster responses to deal requests.
Along with capital growth, Abacus Finance has also added new staff. The firm added Toby Nabavian to its team as an investment analyst. Company leaders said the new hire will help support a growing number of deals.
Toby Nabavian brings experience in leveraged finance from Capital One. He also has a background in business analytics. His addition strengthens the firm’s ability to review deals and support underwriting. With more transactions coming in, the firm says it will continue hiring talent to meet demand. The goal is to speed up decision-making while still prioritizing disciplined underwriting standards.
Abacus Finance continues to support growing lower-middle market lending companies. The team says that strong relationships remain an important part of its approach and recent initiatives will address evolving client needs.
The recent updates come at a milestone moment for the New York-based company. Since opening its doors in 2011, the private debt firm has completed over $3.5 billion in total financings. The investment team manages about $1.4 billion in assets. Adding fresh talent and capital are both strategic moves to prepare the business for future market shifts.
About the company: Abacus Finance is a private credit lender based in New York City, specializing in senior loans for private equity-backed companies in the lower-middle market. The firm is now offering flexible financing for transactions that require fast and reliable execution. Its lending approach and team expansion will support acquisitions and other sponsor-backed deals.
