About Us

SFN Capital Inc. ("SFN") has evolved into a full service Corporate and Real Estate Investment Bank. At SFN our focus is on originating transactions, executing transactions and identifying investment opportunities domestically and internationally. We utilize our extensive international contacts in developed and emerging markets. We have the flexibility, knowledge base, creativity and execution capability to deliver solutions for many challenging transactions. We have worked with companies across many different industries.

MULTIPLE INDUSTRY COVERAGE: In addition to extensive transaction experience, SFN has also worked with companies in many different industries including: non-toxic chemicals, consumer products, fintech, health care, oil & gas, media/entertainment/broadcasting, real estate, hotel/lodging, real estate developments, technology/internet, travel/leisure, energy/minerals/metals/mining and telecommunications.

INTERNATIONAL CAPABILITIES: SFN’s domestic presence is complemented by strong international capabilities with the necessary contacts to complete transactions in Europe, Asia, Japan, Latin America and other major markets. Both foreign and U.S. companies have expanded their corporate acquisition searches to areas outside their borders in order to maximize values and achieve corporate goals. Foreign companies often find it advantageous to enter the U.S.A. market and to raise capital in the U.S.A. Most recently there has been an additional focus on emerging markets, especially in Eastern/Central Europe as well as in Mexico, India and China where extensive local ties and joint venture partnerships have been established.

PROBLEM SOLVING: We bring a strong set of problem-solving skills, multi-disciplined transaction expertise and access to sources of capital from a broad network of domestic and international strategic lenders and investors that are critical in completing a successful transaction.

INVESTOR POOL: Our pool of investors and lenders consist of private firms and private capital funds with a minimum of $750 million USD to over $80 billion USD of assets under management. We have also established relationships with a wide network of lenders and investors including: insurance companies, syndication’s/partnerships, regional banks, international banks, credit companies, pension funds and hedge funds.

MERGERS & ACQUISITIONS: Merger, acquisition, divestiture and partnering opportunities are significant milestones in the life cycle of any company and for its owners or prospective owners. The financial, organizational, managerial and strategic problems which they pose are different from the usual operating problems of any management. Solutions to these new problems can be very complex. At SFN we have broad experience in assisting clients in all aspects of the merger and acquisition process. We participate with clients from the earliest stage of helping to define objectives and the identification and search for potential candidate companies, through the contact and negotiating phase and finally on to the successful closing of a transaction.

NO CONFLICTS OF INTEREST: As an independent investment banking advisory firm, we act only as an advisor or agent, not as a principal or merchant banker. SFN does not have the inherent conflicts of interest that can arise with a trading desk, sales department, or with research analysts at major financial institutions.

SERVICE FOCUS: SFN is focused on continuing to provide the quality of service that companies and individuals have come to expect from us. Our goal is to satisfy the needs and objectives of our clients. This is why all of our business is obtained through referrals from current and past clients. SFN is driven by experience that capitalizes on creativity seasoned by the maturity required to facilitate a fast approval and a smooth closing process. Utilizing our unique blend of experience and expertise, our staff is prepared to respond quickly, efficiently, and creatively to all types of financing requests. SFN remains strong and stable through its commitment to clients, expansion into alternative lending sources, streamline processes, continuous development of associates, and state of the art technology. Working on all of these fronts will help us ensure a profitable and successful future for our clients.
