Channel Partners Capital ranked among the 5,000 fastest-growing private companies in the U.S. by Inc. magazine for the sixth straight year in 2018. The Inc. 500/5000 list recognizes the nation’s most successful, dynamic small and mid-sized businesses.
“Companies that have made the list, on average, have grown sixfold since 2014,” said James Ledbetter, Editor in Chief, Inc. Media. “Over a stretch when the economy grew around 11 percent, that’s a result most businesses can only dream to achieve.”
Of the tens of thousands of companies that have applied to the Inc. 5000 over the years, only a fraction made the list more than once. A mere six percent have made the list six times and fewer still for six consecutive years.
“Our consistent growth results from the strong relationships we build with equipment finance partners and their customers,” said Brad Peterson, CEO of Channel Partners Capital. “We work hard to provide convenient, easy access to growth capital for small business customers who are often acquiring equipment at the same time.”
“Leveraging these connections ensures that our partners are in the right place at the right time to help small businesses with their working capital needs,” he added.
Earlier this year, Channel closed on a mid-eight figure equity investment and a senior debt facility that will support over $300 million in annual fundings, allowing Channel to continue its trajectory of growth as one of the most financially stable companies in the industry.
