Company Background

We know cash flow

Since our inception in 1985, Bay View Funding has been singly committed to helping businesses solve their cash flow challenges – in fact, it’s in our DNA. Founded by venture capitalists seeking to fund their portfolio companies without diluting their equity, we quickly built a reputation as a leading factoring company by helping other emerging businesses access the cash they needed to succeed. In March 1997, we were acquired by Bay View Capital Corporation, a $4 billion diversified financial services company that included Bay View Bank, the largest independent banking franchise operating exclusively in the San Francisco Bay Area. Five years later, we completed a management led purchase of the company’s assets from Bay View Capital. Then, in October 2007, we were acquired by Capital Corp of the West (CCOW), a publicly traded bank-holding company, whose wholly owned subsidiary, County Bank, with 40 branches, is one of the larger community banks in the U.S.

Tom Hawker, CCOW’s Chief Executive Officer, commented: “This acquisition represents an exciting expansion of CCOW’s business lending franchise and an excellent complement to our County Bank’s Asset based lending capabilities that were acquired in early 2006.” Vince Narez, Bay View Funding President commented: "We are excited to be aligning with CCOW and County Bank. Our access to funds, capital and banking services will facilitate our ability to increase our factoring volume and product offerings. This was significant opportunity for our Clients, Team members and shareholders."

BVF is committed to understanding and servicing our clients’ receivable factoring needs expeditiously and professionally. With a team of dedicated professionals focused on teamwork, mutual respect, and quality, we build lasting relationships. Our objective is clear: to be the company in our industry most admired and respected by our clients, our competitors, our shareholders, and ourselves. Today, BVF is recognized as one of the best in the business.
