The Western Association of Equipment Leasing member firm was recently
ranked #67 overall on the Inc. 500 list. Firms: Balboa Capital Corp. Specialization: High-tech Lease Range: $10K-$2 million Number of Employees: 35 Irvine-based Balboa Capital Corporation is the
67th fastest-growing private company in the U.S. according
to Inc. Magazine. In its annual
“Inc.550 Survey, “ published in the October, 1993 edition, Balboa
ranked 67 overall and second in southern California, based on their
five year grown patter. The secret to their success? According to President
Patrick E. Byrne, CLP, “ We pride ourselves on creative thinking and
promoting from within. Being a member of WAEL has helped us grow with
its many opportunities to interact and network. Through WAEL, we’ve
developed important partnerships and relationships with funders and
suppliers.” Byrne founded the fledging company six years
ago---and joined WAEL a year later. The company, which started in
a small office with only three employees, has increased now to three
offices with thirty employees. Byrne said he predicts a 50 percent
growth next year. Vice President of Finance Shawn Giffin, CLP,
adds, “Our sales force doesn’t have the frame of reference of the
‘easy years’ of the 80s. They
simply don’t acknowledge the existence of a recession. They think
that this is the way it’s supposed to be and just go out and write
lots of business.” Byrne and Griffin can be reached at (310) 575-9900.,
