Sentry Financial

Sentry Financial is a full service commercial finance company founded in 1986. The company focuses on equipment leasing/financing primarily in the telecommunications, healthcare/medical, and clean energy industries, but also provides lease financing for equipment in any industry. Sentry provides strategic manufacturer/vendor finance programs and services tailored to achieve manufacturers’ objectives, such as increasing sales, closing sales faster, and protecting margins. Its customers are typically large public and private companies located in the U.S. and abroad. The company funds its transactions through a unique combination of internal capital and capital provided by its funding consortium, which consists of large domestic and international institutional sources, and a broad spectrum of community banks throughout the United States. Sentry’s transaction sizes typically range from $500 thousand to $150 million, but it will complete smaller and larger transactions as required to meet the needs of its customers. To date, Sentry has completed over $2.4 billion of transactions. As Sentry Financial operates in the financial services industry and is based in the United States, it presents potential investment opportunities for venture capitalists seeking exposure to the finance sector and companies with a strong track record in equipment leasing and financing.
