Commercial Funding Partners Funds $36 Million Sale-Leaseback for Midwest Manufacturer

DRAPER, Utah - EntSun -- Commercial Funding Partners (CFP), parent company of Equipment Leases Inc, funded a $36 million sale-leaseback for a Midwest manufacturer at the start of Q2 2026. The transaction fully recapitalized the company's operation. CFP structured it as a 60-month non-tax lease.

Equipment Leases Inc., an operating division of Commercial Funding Partners, is a technology-enabled platform that connects businesses with equipment leasing and financing solutions. With a focus on speed, transparency, and customer service, Equipment Leases helps businesses of all sizes acquire the equipment they need to grow.

The team closed the deal in roughly three weeks. CFP coordinated its network of banks, operations staff, appraisers, and other stakeholders to meet that timeline. Due diligence on a transaction this complex, in a competitive environment, presented a real challenge.

"Our core competency is making deals work," said Buddy Zarbock, Founder and CEO of Commercial Funding Partners. "We find creative, responsible ways to structure transactions so our customers can succeed."

The sale-leaseback let the manufacturer unlock capital from equipment it already owned. The company converted those assets into working capital while keeping every machine in service. The structure freed up cash without a traditional bank loan. For manufacturers meeting onshoring demand, that mix of speed and liquidity often falls outside conventional bank credit.

As onshoring of U.S. manufacturing continues to grow, so do CFP's funding capabilities. The firm now structures and funds growth-critical equipment for established businesses across a widening range of industries.

CFP enters its 15th year as a business-to-business direct lender founded by Buddy Zarbock. The firm works alongside banks, funding equipment and operations that sit outside conventional bank credit. More than half of CFP's funded schedules are repeat business with existing customers.
