Far West Capital, a privately funded commercial finance company headquartered in Austin, announced a new high: $5.3 billion in financing to high-growth entrepreneurs since its inception in 2007; over $900 million was provided in 2017 alone. With more than 750 clients served over ten years of operation in 33 states, Far West Capital will continue to fund more businesses in 2018. 
 
In 2017, Far West Capital celebrated another milestone: their 10th year in operation. Co-Founders Don Stricklin and Cole Harmonson came together in 2007 with a deep-rooted passion to start a finance company, dedicated to helping entrepreneurs grow their businesses and reach their highest potential. They were determined to provide best-in-class service and personalized financial solutions, making sure no client felt like just another line item.

“I consider myself very lucky to have been on this journey with Don,” says Cole Harmonson, CEO. “Don firmly believes everyone should benefit from success, and that if we put our clients’ needs first, everything else will follow.”

Since then, Far West Capital has improved the lives of over 62,000 people, including employees, clients, and their family members, and helped grow 750 businesses. With more than 50 employees nationwide, the company plans to expand its reach in both existing and new markets in 2018. 

“It's been a great year for us. We’re pleased to welcome 93 business owners into our client family, and proud to have provided $5.3 billion since our inception,” Cole says. “In 2018, we will continue to focus on creating as many entrepreneurial heroes as possible, by staying true to our brand promise: deliver success, earn trust, with no surprises.”

Far West Capital contributes its success and rapid growth to its passionate and devoted referral base, its highly driven team, and its talented entrepreneurial client base.
