Garrington Group of Companies Finalizes Purchase of the assets of Liquid Capital Corporation

TORONTO, October 2019 – The Garrington Group of Companies (Garrington) are pleased to announce the purchase of the assets of Liquid Capital Corp. via the Garrington subsidiary Liquid Capital Enterprises (Liquid Capital.)

This purchase includes the shares of both Liquid Capital Exchange Inc. and Liquid Capital Exchange Corp. as well as the franchise agreements governing the relationship with the Liquid Capital franchise network.

“After many months of discussion and deliberation, we are very happy to be in a relationship with a firm like the Garrington Group of Companies. Working with the Garrington Group of Companies is going to be very beneficial to our various stakeholders and Liquid Capital Principals.  This relationship opens the door for the company to take advantage of many great trade finance based opportunities and operate in the under-banked SME market both north and south of the border. Historically, our network has been closed to outside investment but with the seasoned relationship with the Next Edge Private Debt Fund and, now, with the Garrington Group of Companies, we are poised to further increase the depth of our already sizeable footprint in the North American SME marketplace,” says Sol Roter of Liquid Capital Enterprises.

 

“We are very excited to welcome the Liquid Capital Enterprises stakeholders into our fold. It’s doubly exciting for us as this year marks the 20th Anniversary of the Liquid Capital system and represents a real milestone for all of us collectively.  We have worked with many of the Liquid Capital Principals in the past and know that they exhibit a high degree of professionalism and trust in the various markets that they serve. Together we look forward to serving the market and partnering with their clients and networks to continue to solve the working capital challenges faced by so many small and medium sized enterprises today,” says Robert Thompson-So, Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer of LINE Financial Services Inc and spokesperson for the Garrington Group of Companies.
