IRVINE, Calif., Jan. 23, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Americor Funding, a financial technology and lending company, announced the sale of BrandRep to Millpond Equity Partners. The sale, which was finalized in December 2017, provides Benny Ganatra the capital that will fuel Americor Funding's accelerated growth for 2018. The capital will be used to secure additional warehouse lines and will create 250 new jobs at Americor's Irvine, California headquarters.

BrandRep is a leading provider of digital marketing solutions for small and midsize businesses (SMB), specializing in services that help organizations manage their online presence through local SEO, lead generation, among other services. The marketing company was established in 2012 by Americor Funding CEO, Benny Ganatra.

"I am honored to have worked alongside 150 dedicated employees that enabled 18,000 small businesses the opportunity to grow their customer base through digital marketing solutions and brand awareness," said former BrandRep Chairman and CEO Ganatra. "The sale of BrandRep allows me to reinvest that capital into a new company, Americor, which will help families consolidate their debt and get back on track to financial stability."
