Business Capital continued to strengthen its industry presence in 2019, expanding its team of professionals, successfully closing 12 transactions covering a wide range of industries and financial structures with eight more expected by year end.

Executed transactions this year total $378 million to date and include project financing for a leading solar fintech company, a real estate loan for a family-owned tree fruit operation and working capital facilities for a leading helicopter services company and for the largest private equity backed producer of branded Manuka honey and products in North America.

To manage the increased deal flow and continue to deliver on long-time commitment to excellence for clients and partners, Business Capital moved into a larger office space and added to the Capital Markets, Credit and Business Development teams.

Most recently, Tim Gaines was hired as an associate working with the Capital Markets group focused on origination, underwriting, and syndication of senior secured, subordinated and mezzanine debt facilities for lower and middle market companies nationwide.

Prior to joining Business Capital, Gaines was an investment banker with Arbor Advisors, where he worked in middle-market M&A and capital raising transactions. Additionally, Gaines was a senior consultant and analyst for FTI Consulting in its corporate finance and restructuring group. He has served as financial adviser in both Chapter 11 Bankruptcy and post-emergence cases.
