Channel Partners Capital, LLC, a full-service independent lender offering equipment finance and working capital funding solutions, was ranked among the 5,000 fastest-growing private companies in the U.S. by Inc. magazine for a ninth consecutive year in 2021. The Inc. 5000 list recognizes the nation’s most dynamic, growing small to mid-size businesses based on success over the course of a year.

Companies on the 2021 Inc. 5000 have proven success, of course, but perhaps even more impressive is their resilience and adaptability as they faced unprecedented challenges through a global pandemic and recession this past year. This brought forward concerns for their people and livelihoods as well as managing capabilities around demand and supply chain disparities. As these companies emerge from this past year, they remain focused on caring for employees first, and continuing to manage toward accelerated growth.

“We’ve been fortunate to work with companies that realize adding additional products or credit to their funding solutions does not have to be complex or difficult,” said Brad Peterson, CEO at Channel. “We’ve been able help our partners expand the ways in which they connect with their customer and advance their credibility, process and relationships. Our approach is unique in the marketplace and fuels mutual growth; a win together partnership that truly sets us apart from our competition.”   

Channel's significant growth is supported by a strong balance sheet and capital structure to fund over $500 million in annual originations. Senior debt commitments from several banks and the backing of an equity sponsor with over $45 billion in assets under management allow Channel to continue its growth as one of the most financially stable independents in the industry.  

Channel is headquartered in Minnetonka, MN, with offices in Marshall, MN, Des Moines, IA and Atlanta, GA.
