Paragon Financial, an asset-based lending company specializing in no-credit risk accounts receivable factoring, payroll financing and purchase order funding, will celebrate its silver anniversary this year after 25 years of funding companies from startup through hyper-growth.

Chief Operating Officer Jon Anselma co-founded Paragon Financial in 1994, with the goal of providing growing businesses an alternative to conventional bank financing. Over the past 25 years, Paragon Financial has factored over 2 billion dollars.

“It’s been an incredible journey, starting at a kitchen table with my college roommate, to 25 years later providing over 2 billion dollars of critical funding to thousands of growing companies,” said Anselma.

Chris Curtin, Paragon president, commented, “Paragon is excited to begin its 25th-year celebration. We have special events scheduled throughout the year and a surprise or two for our wonderful clients and referral sources.”

Paragon Financial will be hosting celebration events throughout the year.
