TCF Capital Funding, the Chicago-based cash flow and asset-based lending division of TCF National Bank, provided financing to support United American Security, a portfolio company of LaSalle Capital in its acquisition of the commercial division of Security Assurance Management.

Founded in 1992 by Russell Stephens, SAM provides security guard services to commercial, government and foreign embassy customers in the greater Washington D.C. area. Stephens will join the UAS team and will remain the primary point of contact with SAM’s current customers.

“The addition of SAM gives us significant scale and greater density in the Washington D.C. market, and expands our service offering to include the specialized services required by foreign embassy clients,” stated Stephen Levine, CEO of UAS. “We are thrilled to partner with Russell Stephens to continue growing the business together.”

“TCF Capital Funding originally supported LaSalle’s portfolio company, United American Security, as a growth platform in the security guard industry. Part of the original investment included growth through several strategic acquisitions, so we’ve been excited to be able to support LaSalle and the Company through several acquisitions including SAM,” said TCF Capital Funding President Joe Gaffigan.
