About Us.
Leveraging management's real-world breadth of expertise in financing assets at every stage in their life cycle, we are frequently able to pinpoint actual collateral values and their associated depreciation schedules more accurately than traditional lenders. This expertise translates to more aggressive financing terms than many other lenders in the marketplace are able to offer.
Maynbridge Capital was launched in 2013 as a collaboration between Knightsbridge Capital Group and Maynards Industries. The concept for this venture was to support businesses that had been traditionally forgotten in the Canadian debt landscape and stuck between bank special loans groups and vulture creditors. Having witnessed it firsthand, we believed too many good businesses, and family’s livelihoods, were being destroyed from an inefficient and opportunist debt market in Canada.
