Sentry Financial

— WHO WE ARE

Sentry Financial is a diversified financial services firm based in Salt Lake City, Utah, with almost 40 years of history and more than $4 billion in transactions to date. We provide capital and related services to—and sometimes operate—businesses worldwide that are sustainable, have high growth potential, and positively impact our world. Many members of our team have educational and professional backgrounds as JDs, MBAs, and CPAs who analyze and design transaction structures to meet the exacting requirements of our customers and partners.

— OUR APPROACH

Our strategy is guided by mutuality and rigorous due diligence—we strive for win-win arrangements that make good business sense. In most collaborations, Sentry will seed business ventures with our own capital, then tap into our consortium of funding partners (which includes both institutional and non-institutional sources) to satisfy the balance of capital requirements. We remain active partners throughout the life of the deal, offering strategic guidance, management assistance, and even some administrative functions.

Sentry operates in many business verticals across our three divisions: Equipment Financing, Real Estate, and Private Equity.
