Arista Capital Ltd. was founded by a team of very experienced finance professionals. The Company is a Specialty Finance Company that acts as a funding source to finance the lending activities of other small asset-based lenders who are in need of significant capital to grow their lending base. Management sees significant opportunity to participate in this market after the financial crisis of 2009, as traditional funding sources for this segment of the financial market have disappeared and the remaining sources have severely limited their financing activities in this area.
The Company participates in this market through a variety of funding arrangements including debt financings, redeemable equity infusions or direct loan participations. Management believes that although small asset-based lenders have limited access to capital after the financial crisis necessary to enable growth, these lenders have a very well-managed and maintained origination, underwriting and administrative infrastructure, as well as tremendous expertise and experience in their specific area of lending. The Company has accessed this experience and infrastructure by participating with these lenders in their lending opportunities.
The Company has entered into partnerships with several asset-based lenders and currently provides funding to support their financing activities with respect to tractor trailers, trucks, construction equipment and other similar types of equipment. The Company seeks to broaden its line of financing activities by seeking to partner with additional asset-based lenders.
