Common questions
What is the typical private credit check size?
Across 2,136 active funds with disclosed ranges in the Agentas database, the median band runs from $10M to $100M. The market's center of gravity is the middle market.
Do private credit funds write small checks under $10M?
Yes — hundreds of specialist funds write $1M–$10M checks, particularly in equipment finance, ABL, and lower-middle-market direct lending. They are specialists, not the famous platforms: the shortlist for a small deal rarely resembles the conference-circuit list.
