TSL: Congrats on your 10-year anniversary! Scott, what would you say are the biggest changes Gibraltar Business Capital has undergone over these last 10 years?
Scott Winicour: Thanks! It’s been a wild ride these last ten years, but probably the biggest change is when I bought the company from my father ten years ago with the help of private equity. It was a very small, regional player in the factoring space that did average-sized deals of $50,000 to $250,000. One of the biggest changes today is we don’t really do any factoring anymore, and that’s because we’ve morphed into an asset-based lender as opposed to a more traditional factor. Another big change is that we now have a nationwide presence. So, we went from a small, localized factoring-only business to a national brand name that people know, with salespeople all across the country. That is, by far, the biggest change.
