Five Point Capital announced today that it has hired 13 new team members within its leasing sales and small business loan sales divisions. This hiring growth was spurred by small business owners who have requested the lender’s assistance in obtaining loans for equipment leases and working capital. As the economy improves small business owners find that in some cases banks are still unable to meet their funding needs. Five Point Capital, through its recent hiring, is positioned to handle the growing number of loan requests it is receiving.

Tom Brainerd of Five Point Capital stated that his company is ready to assist small business owners with their equipment leasing and working capital loan needs: “We’re hiring now in direct response to what we’re seeing with calls to our offices requesting small business funding. It is our mission to be the trusted lending resource that business owners can work with to meet their short and long term funding needs,” Mr. Brainerd said. “We want to let small business owners know that they do have somewhere to turn and we have money to lend and can do it quickly with a minimum of paperwork,” Mr. Brainerd said.

As opportunities for growth present themselves in this recovering economy, those businesses that are becoming confident and want to expand may still find some obstacles to obtaining the funding they need to do so. Five Point Capital is positioned to meet the needs of small businesses as they continue to look for ways to meet their growth challenges.
