Sunwise Capital, a company in small business lending since 2010, expanded its lending portfolio with the launch of a dedicated equipment financing division. To lead this initiative, Sunwise Capital has appointed Christopher Murray as director of equipment financing. The new division will provide financing for equipment purchases ranging from $10,000 to $30 million.
“Adding equipment financing is a natural extension of our mission to provide smart, accessible capital solutions for growing businesses,” Mark Kane, CEO of Sunwise Capital, said. “It also opens the door to valuable partnerships with vendors and manufacturers who need financing options to close more sales. With Chris Murray leading this division, we’re poised to become a major player in this space.”
Murray brings nearly 20 years of experience in equipment financing, commercial lending and strategic business development. His career spans leadership roles at Direct Capital, Balboa Capital, On Deck Capital and, most recently, as president of Coastal Kapital. A former U.S. Marine with a background in construction and facilities management, Murray combines disciplined execution with a strong network of financial professionals and vendor relationships.
“Sunwise Capital is a company that understands how to move fast, deliver real value and build lasting partnerships,” Murray said. “I’m excited to build a best-in-class equipment financing program — one that meets the needs of today’s business owners and enables vendors to close more deals, faster.”
