We’re pleased to introduce one of our newest members, Mark Simshauser, Senior Vice President for the Northeast region at SLR Business Credit. Mark brings decades of experience in commercial finance, with a focus on asset-based lending, factoring and working capital solutions for lower middle market companies.
His commitment to supporting business growth and restructuring aligns closely with our mission of fostering capital formation and entrepreneurship throughout New York and the broader region.
A Career Built on Lending Solutions
Mark’s career spans more than 20 years in the commercial finance space, where he’s consistently delivered value to companies navigating complex capital needs. He specializes in working with “storied” or restructured credits—businesses that require thoughtful, tailored lending strategies to stabilize or expand.
Over the years, he’s built a reputation for structuring creative solutions, building loan portfolios from the ground up and delivering results. At firms like Triumph Commercial Finance, TAB Bank and Greystone Business Credit, Mark originated and managed asset-based and factoring relationships for companies with revenues ranging from $10 million to $300 million. He’s helped banks generate millions in annual revenue while delivering strong ROI on secured loans across the Northeast.
Mark earned his degree in Communications and Business Administration from the State University of New York at Fredonia. He also completed a graduate-level certificate in Economics from the Cornell Johnson Graduate School of Management, further deepening his understanding of market dynamics and strategic lending.
Supporting Growth Across the Region
Mark’s deep knowledge of the Northeast market has allowed him to serve privately held businesses across diverse industries. In every role, he’s helped businesses overcome challenges and access the capital they need to move forward.
Whether working with borrowers in need of turnaround capital or fast-growing companies expanding operations, Mark focuses on developing long-term relationships grounded in trust and results.
Today, as part of SLR Business Credit, he continues to work with lower middle market companies to provide customized financing that supports both stability and growth.
Building Connections
We’re excited to have Mark join our network of investors, lenders, advisors and operators. His perspective strengthens the collaborative environment we aim to foster across the investment ecosystem.
Mark is looking forward to expanding his network and engaging with members who are active in lower middle market transactions, especially those who share a focus on supporting privately owned and founder-led businesses. He’s also passionate about contributing to conversations around access to capital, business restructuring and growth financing in the region.
