About Five Peaks
Built by seasoned commercial financing professionals, Five Peaks brings together a deep collective expertise - from relationship management to leading commercial teams. The firm has brokered over $2 billion in commercial transactions
Emerging from their founders' experience as commercial brokers, Five Peaks was born when they began funding deals themselves when traditional lenders wouldn’t - only backing deals they would personally invest in. This evolved into a full-scale private lending operation, later opening opportunities to third-party investors (www.fivepeakscapital.ca).
