• Bayview Funding - 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.

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 Commercial Finance Group, which resulted in the formation of a new corporation and independent factoring company. Today, Bay View Funding is recognized as one of the best in the business. We are 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.
