Seaport Specialty Lending Has Another Strong Funding Month
Seaport Specialty Lending (“SSL”), a diversified specialty finance company, had another strong loan origination month, funding over $14MM in July. With the supply of charged-off debt at record lows over the past 15 months (during the pandemic), SSL accelerated its initiative to enter other specialty finance verticals. Over the past quarter, SSL began funding performing auto note buyers and consumer lenders. SSL has experienced a recent surge, however, in debt buyer financing deal flow mostly due to large refinance and recapitalization opportunities in the marketplace.
SSL maintains a robust and diversified pipeline that includes opportunities in healthcare finance, inheritance funding, merchant cash advance, mortgage notes and litigation funding. SSL co-founder Michael Bernstein is excited about SSL’s continued growth of both its portfolio and team. He added that “SSL strives to differentiate itself from other specialty finance companies by providing maximum flexibility; deal creativity; and expedited funding.”
