The company reported $1.07 billion in funding volume for 2025, representing 40% year-over-year growth following 37% growth in 2024. Verdant’s managed portfolio expanded by 41% to $1.7 billion, reflecting sustained momentum across its vendor-focused financing model. Since its founding in 2017, the company has originated more than $4 billion in total financing.
Verdant specializes in providing leases and loans for business essential equipment and software, partnering with vendors, OEMs, and dealers across industries, including industrial, manufacturing, specialty vehicles, renewables, and technology.
