In 2000, our founder Robert “Bob” Zadek, was a successful Lending and Transaction Attorney. He started getting calls from his clients all over the country asking him if he knew anyone who wanted to lend to factors and asset-based lenders. His clients wanted to expand their businesses or needed cash to fund larger deals. Traditional banks loans were hard to obtain, slow to fund, and cumbersome to maintain. Bob’s clients needed a lender who understood the specialty finance business and could provide customized funding options to meet their specific needs.

Bob soon realized there was huge market of specialty finance companies, factors and ABLs who needed an alternative funding source. So, Lenders Financing was born. Bob leveraged his extensive network in the lending industry to obtain financing so he could fund his clients’ businesses. He applied his expertise in Lending and Transaction law to design the quintessential legal documents that eventually became an industry standard. Bob created a painless, fair and stress-free funding process. Most of Lenders Funding’s business has been through participations. But they also provide specialty finance companies direct loans on real estate, machinery and equipment and accounts receivable.

Clients loved the personal attention they got from Lenders Funding and the business grew. Since its inception, Lenders Funding has worked with over 150 lenders and factors and has provided several hundred million dollars in funding. The company now has offices on the east and west coast. Over 20 years later Lenders Funding is still helping lenders expand their businesses and reduce risk.
