Capital Business Credit Positions to Expand in Core Markets

The sale of Capital TempFunds to Wells Fargo & Company , announced yesterday, positions Capital Business Credit LLC to concentrate on significant market opportunities in its core factoring business. On the completion of the sale, Capital Business Credit will have substantial equity and lines of credit to respond to increasing demand for its funding services to assist businesses in this very difficult financing climate.

“We’ve chosen to redeploy our resources to focus on our primary business,” said Andrew Tananbaum, President and CEO of Capital Business Credit. “There are lending opportunities for Capital Business Credit within our core markets and it is important that we have surplus capital to meet the needs of our clients.”
