Entering 2026 with momentum and gratitude
As we begin 2026, we want to thank our clients, partners and friends for the trust and collaboration that defined the past year. In a dynamic commercial finance environment, your confidence in TBF Financial continues to drive our work across commercial debt acquisition, portfolio strategy and long-term value creation.
This past year marked meaningful progress for our firm and our partners. We launched MarkTrue, our proprietary pricing algorithm designed to deliver even greater accuracy, transparency, and speed in portfolio valuation.
We were also proud to give back to the equipment finance community by volunteering at the annual ELFA Convention, supporting an industry that continues to innovate and grow through shared expertise and collaboration.
Looking ahead, we’re optimistic about the opportunities 2026 will bring. With increased activity across commercial lending we believe the year ahead presents strong potential for disciplined growth. We’re excited to build on this momentum and grateful to move forward together into another year of partnership and progress.

A number of private conversations and conference sessions at recent industry events focused on the latest developments, and I’ve been especially interested in the credit, collections and debt implications for equipment finance.
