Maynbridge Capital

Transitional Lending is Maynbridge’s term for asset-based credit that adjusts to where a company sits in its business life cycle. It spans growth capital, management buyout support, and debtor-in-possession or turnaround financing. The common thread is aggressive advance rates against hard assets, priced using the collateral expertise Maynbridge draws from its parent, Maynards Industries, a global industrial auction and valuation firm.

President Dean Shillington, who founded the firm and previously worked at GE Capital, sets investment direction. SVP and Chief Risk Officer Stephen J. Davies oversees underwriting and portfolio risk; he spent 21 years at Export Development Canada, where he led a C$1.0 billion DIP fund and managed the C$55 billion commercial loan portfolio.

Maynbridge originates loans in Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia. The firm states that it spans three continents with its lending products, with business development officers based across Canada’s Western, Prairie, and Ontario markets.

Maynbridge was formed in 2013 as a joint venture between Dean Shillington’s Knightsbridge Capital Group — a Vancouver-based commercial finance and advisory firm — and Maynards Industries, a global industrial auction, liquidation, and valuation business. The relationship gives Maynbridge an in-house capability to assess and liquidate collateral, which informs its lending terms.
