Nabesna Capital structures mezzanine and subordinated debt financing for companies that have outgrown traditional lending but want to retain ownership and control.
This form of hybrid capital sits between senior secured debt and equity — providing additional leverage for expansion, recapitalization, or acquisition without diluting shareholders.
We arrange mezzanine and subordinated facilities through private credit funds, institutional investors, family offices, and non-bank lenders who understand the risk profile and growth trajectory of middle-market businesses.
This program is designed for established, cash-flowing businesses that need flexible, patient capital to fund strategic growth initiatives, including:
We work with owners and acquirers across industries such as manufacturing, logistics, construction, healthcare, and professional services — anywhere long-term enterprise value supports additional leverage.
Loan Size: $100K – $10MM+
Leverage: Typically layered above senior secured debt
Term Length: 3 to 7 years
