We are excited to announce that our CEO, Adam Benowitz, will speak at the 2025 Asset Based Finance (ABF) Conference next week. This event is hosted by DealCatalyst and will take place September 24–25.
SME Lending Trends: What’s Next for Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises
Adam will join the Small and Medium-Sized Enterprise (SME) Lending Forward panel to explore what’s ahead for business finance. Topics will include:
- Term loans, receivables, Merchant Cash Advances (MCA), and working capital
- Speed to fund—too fast? Navigating the fraud dynamic
- The path to forward flow and Asset-Backed Securities (ABS)—how many can survive long enough?
This session will highlight the evolving role of asset-based finance in supporting SMEs that often struggle to secure traditional lending like bank loans.
Industry Leaders Shaping Alternative Finance
The SME Lending Forward panel will also feature Anwar Ghauche, CEO, Constrafor and Sumit Saraf, Managing Partner, TradeBacked Inc.
Additional experts from organizations such as the American Fintech Council and Centerbridge Partners will be in attendance.
We hope to see you there!
