BOCA RATON, Fla., Dec. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Anchor Funding Services, Inc.'s (OTC Bulletin Board Symbol: AFNG) Co-Chairmen, Morry F. Rubin and George Rubin, and an investor, through a newly organized entity, MGM Funding, LLC, have agreed to provide a $3.7 million Senior Credit Facility to Anchor's 80% owned Purchase Order Financing Subsidiary, Brookridge Funding Services, LLC ('Brookridge") which recently acquired Brookridge Funding, LLC. Brookridge provides its specialty niche financing to small and mid-sized U.S. based businesses.

Morry F. Rubin, Chairman and CEO, stated "We are excited to make an equity investment in Anchor and to provide this Senior Credit Facility to Brookridge. The opportunities to provide financing to small and mid sized businesses remain strong given the environment of tight business credit; particularly, from traditional banks and institutional investors."

Prior to the credit crisis which began approximately 14 months ago, Brookridge's finance revenues were significantly greater than today. With this new $3.7 million credit facility and the additional $1.5 million equity investment from Anchor, its Co-Chairmen and Brookridge principals, Brookridge can now fulfill its revenue opportunities and meet its current demand from its clients and prospects for its financial products.

Brookridge Funding's founders, Michael Hilton and John McNiff, will serve as Co-Presidents of the company. In discussing the transaction, Michael Hilton stated, "We are excited to be partnering with Anchor Funding Services, and utilizing our combined resources to continue to expand our financing capabilities within the purchase order and accounts receivable financing industry. It's great to have the ability to meet the demand for our financial services and grow the company."

About Brookridge

Since 1995, Brookridge has provided over $430 million of purchase order and accounts receivable financing to small and mid-sized U.S. businesses. The purchase order financing industry, a specialty niche funding sector, is not dominated by any single firm and serves to fill a critical need for companies requiring working capital to source goods from suppliers in order to fill customer purchase orders from credit worthy companies, Fortune 1000 corporations or government related entities. Purchase order financing for U.S. based firms supports payments for the flow of goods within the supply chain to suppliers for production of goods which ultimately reach the end consumer.
