Global financial advisory and restructuring company Gordon Brothers has entered a $1.5bn joint venture with Davidson Kempner Capital Management to enhance its commercial equipment finance capabilities.
Supported by a lender finance facility with Wells Fargo Capital Finance, the collaboration aims to provide tailored financing solutions across key sectors such as construction, manufacturing, and transportation.
Since launching its commercial equipment finance business earlier this year, Gordon Brothers now offers a range of customised equipment financing solutions.
These include equipment loans, capital leases, terminal rental adjustment clause, and fair market value leases, designed to serve middle-market and large corporate companies.
In addition to serving a wide range of clients, including independent lessors, captive finance organisations, and bank-owned equipment financing groups, Gordon Brothers’ new mid-ticket commercial equipment finance offering complements its existing structured equipment finance business.
The business provides structured, asset-focused leasing and lending solutions to companies facing operational or market challenges.
Gordon Brothers’ commercial equipment finance head Bobby Campbell said: “We are proud to partner with two highly experienced and strategically aligned financial institutions in Davidson Kempner and Wells Fargo to deliver flexible and reliable equipment financing solutions to our clients.
“This partnership further cements our firm as the most complete asset-based solution provider in the industry.”
Operating globally across a broad spectrum of assets, Gordon Brothers brings expertise in retail, commercial, industrial, brands, and real estate.
Headquartered in Boston, US, the company has more than 30 offices across North America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and the Asia Pacific.
In April, Gordon Brothers expanded its presence in the UK and continental Europe by acquiring SIA Group, a UK-based asset valuation, advisory, and trading services provider.
Founded in 2003, SIA Group has established a client base in asset-based lending and corporate restructuring, providing asset-focused solutions across valuation and sales, with over 85 asset specialists in London, Birmingham, Manchester, and Glasgow.
