In this episode of the Dealmaker’s Series, host James Sackey sits down with Brice Reid, Senior Vice President at nFusion Capital, to unpack the current state of asset-based lending (ABL), factoring, and private credit in today’s shifting financial landscape. Brice brings over a decade of experience in commercial finance and has helped nFusion grow into one of the largest independently owned ABL and factoring shops in the U.S. In this in-depth conversation, he shares a front-line view of how deal flow, risk appetite, and capital deployment are evolving amid rate cuts, tariff stabilization, and tightening credit conditions. 🔑 Key Insights You’ll Learn Deal Flow Dynamics: How nFusion Capital has maintained steady volume by moving “upstream” and embracing slightly higher-risk, structure-driven deals. Evolving Deal Structures: Why ABL lenders are shifting from the traditional 2:1 AR-to-inventory ratio to more inventory-heavy lending strategies. Sector Highlights: Which industries—like construction, manufacturing, and CPG—are holding steady or growing despite market uncertainty. Impact of Interest Rates: How recent rate cuts and pent-up dry powder are fueling a surge of aggressive private credit term sheets. Texas Advantage: Why Dallas–Fort Worth remains a financial powerhouse, attracting more capital inflows than almost any market outside New York. Looking Ahead: Why Brice expects a pullback in lender appetite as aggressive structures tighten and risk consciousness returns to the market. If you’re an ABL professional, private credit lender, or dealmaker navigating today’s credit environment, this conversation offers valuable insights into how capital providers are thinking about structure, pricing, and market resilience heading into 2026. 👉 Subscribe for more episodes of the Dealmaker’s Series and follow James Sackey on LinkedIn for exclusive dealmaking insights from across DFW and beyond. #DealmakersSeries #PrivateCredit #ABL #Factoring #nFusionCapital #DallasFinance #MiddleMarketLending #DFWBusiness #MergersAndAcquisitions #AssetBasedLending
