Axis Auto Finance Inc., a fintech lender servicing the alternative auto finance market, announced its wholly owned subsidiary, Pivotal Capital Corp. (Pivotal) has secured an additional funding facility with Mitsubishi HC Capital Canada, Inc. (MHCCA).

Pivotal is an independent Canadian commercial equipment finance company active across the transportation, construction, manufacturing and food services sectors. The facility adds to Pivotal’s existing funding relationships. Unique in the Canadian marketplace, Pivotal can lend across the credit spectrum with rates from investment grade to sub-prime.

Facility highlights include a Purchase facility, with capacity of up to $50 million in annual purchases, and a Warehouse facility, with a limit of $5 million. The Facility will be used to finance and purchase the payment receivables generated from commercial finance contracts.

“The addition of this Facility means that Pivotal has on balance sheet funding capacity in excess of $100 million. This will drive our aggressive growth plans for fiscal 2023 and continue our national expansion. This is the next step in becoming Canada’s largest independent equipment finance company,” said President Steven Koster.

CEO Todd Hudson said, “Adding the $55 million in funding is an important strategic step for Pivotal. As Pivotal’s presence in the market grows, expanding our lending capabilities is crucial. This Facility will enable Pivotal to pursue even greater market share.”

“We are proud to be part of Pivotal’s growth strategy,” said François Nantel, President Mitsubishi HC Capital Canada. “Pivotal is a significant player in the equipment finance industry and we believe this will be a mutually beneficial relationship.”
