We Evaluate Assets.
Not Borrowers.
NON-FUGAZI is a private lending firm specializing in art-backed loans for collectors, institutions, and estates. We exist for clients who understand the difference between value and price.
Private Finance Done Properly
The traditional lending system was not designed for collectors. It demands credit scores, tax returns, and financial disclosures — none of which have any bearing on the value of a Basquiat or a Giacometti.
We built NON-FUGAZI around a different premise: if you own a significant work of art, it should be possible to access capital against it quickly, privately, and without the theatre of conventional finance.
What We Stand For
We do not disclose client identities, loan terms, or the works in our custody. Ever. Your relationship with us is confidential by default.
Capital markets do not wait. Neither do we. From inquiry to funded loan typically takes 24–72 hours. For straightforward assets, often same-day.
Every work in our care is housed in a climate-controlled, museum-grade facility with 24/7 security, catalogued, and insured at full replacement value.
Our term sheets are one page. Our fees are disclosed upfront. There are no hidden charges, no origination fees buried in the fine print.
Who We Work With
Individuals with significant art holdings seeking liquidity without selling.
Portfolio-level conversations about art as a balance sheet asset class.
Bridging capital during probate or estate administration.
Inventory financing for established commercial galleries.
