"TFC represents a strong strategic addition to our existing platforms, enabling Kingsbridge to expand our offerings to the small and mid-sized business segments of the leasing market," noted Dan Flagstad, co-founder and Co-Chief Executive Officer of Kingsbridge. "Kevin Pruett and Jeff Miller have built an outstanding platform that provides outstanding service to their vendor partners and lessee customers, and we are excited to welcome the TFC team to our company."

We look forward to contributing to Kingsbridge's continued growth and success."
