CIT SBLC License Sold to ReadyCap Commercial, LLC

“ReadyCap is pleased to make this announcement, as this represents a major step in the growth of our company,” says Tom Capasse, CEO of SAM. “The acquisition of this platform will allow ReadyCap and RCL to serve as a key financial resource for small business owners who may not qualify for funds through conventional commercial loan products. Small businesses represent the foundation of our nation’s economy and business owners and entrepreneurs need flexibility and quicker closings that banks simply cannot provide.”

RCL is acquiring $1.3 billion of SBA 7(a) loan servicing rights, the largest among non-bank 7(a) lenders, with a $370 million non-guaranteed retained participation interest, licensing the rights to use certain CIT origination and servicing systems and will retain a majority of the small business lending staff currently at CIT. The presence of the SBA lending group in New Jersey, coupled with its current headquarters in Irvine, CA will provide ReadyCap with coast-to-coast lending operations.

ReadyCap has originated approximately $250 million in conventional commercial mortgage loans since its inception in 2013.
