CG Commercial Finance was recently recognized by Monitor as the No. 18 private independent lessor. CG, which was acquired by funds controlled by Atalaya Capital Management in 2016, has continued to transform and grow by expanding direct funding capabilities, adding key leaders and expanding its indirect originations platform.

W. Scott McCullum, president of CG Commercial Finance, said, “Emerging from the sale of the platform and in the midst of implementing our strategic initiatives, it is satisfying to see the company on a growth trajectory. We are pleased to see our firm join the ranks of the largest independents in our industry. Key additions to leadership, business development and operations have all led to increased originations and a business model that is well-positioned for growth in market share.”

CG Commercial Finance focuses on mid-large ticket equipment financing projects across a range of assets. The company has recently expanded direct funding capabilities to target lower middle market, leveraged and sponsor-backed corporates, and also expanded its third-party buy desk.
