A portfolio company of Boston-based Copley Equity Partners, Leadpoint harnesses capital to support promising growth trajectory

CAMBRIDGE, MA —July 25, 2023 — Cambridge Savings Bank (CSB), a full-service mutual bank with a customer-first approach and over $6 billion in assets, today announced that its Asset-Based Lending (ABL) team provided a $10M revolving line of credit to Leadpoint Business Services (“Leadpoint”). Headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, Leadpoint is a full-service workforce solutions company offering contingent workforce optimization, embedded supervisory and operating support, and direct hire solutions.

Leadpoint has established itself as a trusted operating partner in the waste and recycling industry, operating in 21 states and fostering long-standing partnerships nationwide. Distinguishing itself from typical temporary staffing agencies, Leadpoint provides full-time work teams to its customers, extending permanent job opportunities accompanied by a comprehensive employee benefits program. Leveraging its expertise in the recycling and manufacturing industries, the company excels in providing customized staffing solutions tailored to the specific needs of these sectors. With active staffing services across 45 job sites, Leadpoint sought additional financing to improve operational efficiency and support its rapid growth.

“From the onset of our partnership, Cambridge Savings Bank has operated as an extension of our team. They are familiar with our financing needs and have proactively identified creative solutions to maximize our growth potential every step of the way,” said Dan Behrendt, Chief Financial Officer at Leadpoint Business Services. “We are grateful to have found a trusted partner to help us navigate complex financial decisions while also offering us the right amount of flexibility to comfortably scale our business.”

Boston-based private investment firm Copley Equity Partners facilitated the introduction between CSB and Leadpoint. Copley Equity Partners (“Copley”) invests in privately held, lower-middle-market companies and commits to helping management teams on key strategic initiatives and business development opportunities post investment. As a portfolio company of Copley, Leadpoint collaborated with the firm to leverage the solutions extended by CSB, with a view to investing in the future of its business.

“This financing is a testament to the financial strength of Leadpoint Business Services and their unique service offering,” said Stefano Belfiore, Vice President Head of Capital Markets at Copley Equity Partners. “When the opportunity arose to seek growth funding from the bank, I had complete confidence in CSB's ability to propose tailored solutions that matched Leadpoint's needs. With Leadpoint's promising trajectory, we are thrilled to have a trusted partner like CSB, facilitating quick decision-making that will allow the business to flourish.”
