Creative Financing Solutions

Typical Range: $25K – $25MM+ Use Cases: Hybrid • Customized • Transitional • Opportunistic

Overview

Not every transaction fits within a conventional lending program — and that’s where Nabesna Capital excels.

Our Creative Financing Solutions are designed for situations that require flexibility, layered capital, or customized structuring. We combine elements of senior debt, subordinated debt, equity participation, and seller or private financing to deliver funding solutions that make sense for the borrower, the business, and the deal.

Whether the need is bridge-to-permanent, cash-out for growth, or nontraditional collateral, our goal is the same: structure a capital solution that works when standard underwriting can’t.

What Creative Financing Can Include

  • Blended structures combining multiple loan types or collateral sources

  • Seller-held or earnout financing integrated into acquisition or real estate deals

  • Private credit participation alongside senior or mezzanine debt

  • Hybrid debt–equity solutions for growth, turnaround, or recapitalization

  • Bridge-to-SBA or takeout strategies for borrowers between financing stages

  • Unique asset or collateral-based loans that fall outside traditional lending criteria

When Creative Financing Makes Sense

  • The deal has multiple moving parts — business, real estate, and goodwill combined

  • A borrower is creditworthy but unconventional (startups, seasonal cash flow, etc.)

  • The property or business is in transition, needing time to stabilize or prove cash flow

  • Traditional lenders have declined, but the fundamentals of the opportunity remain strong

  • The borrower or seller is willing to structure participation to make the deal work

We see structure as a tool — not an obstacle. If a transaction is viable, we find a way to make the capital align.

How Nabesna Capital Approaches These Deals
