Channel Posts Standout Growth in Transformational Year

Minnetonka, MN, January 9, 2025 – Channel, a leading independent provider of equipment finance and working capital solutions to small businesses across the U.S., today released a year-end recap highlighting exceptional growth and operational progress throughout 2025. The company’s collective performance with its subsidiaries reflects the tireless efforts of its team members and the strength of partnerships built on shared goals, mutual accountability, and long-term success.

In 2025, the organization delivered exceptional momentum, achieving more than 45% year-over-year growth in fourth- quarter originations as compared to Q4 2024, a 25% growth from Q3 2025 and marking December as a record month since the company’s inception. This overall performance placed Q4 2025 as the strongest quarter in the company’s history, reinforcing the power of disciplined execution, deep collaboration, and a unified commitment to our partners’ success.

This growth was driven not by a single initiative, but by a coordinated, company-wide optimization and strengthening effort supported by leadership and embraced across departments. Throughout 2025, Channel undertook a comprehensive modernization of its platform, strengthening core disciplines, enhancing enterprise-wide processes, and investing in scalable infrastructure to support long-term growth. The organization focused on improving operational capacity, advancing technology and reporting capabilities, elevating its partner and customer experience, and aligning production teams around a more focused, win together partner strategy.

Combined, these initiatives created a stronger, more scalable platform while reinforcing Channel’s focus on responsible growth and operational excellence.

“This year was about people first,” said Adam Peterson, CEO of Channel. “Our team supported one another, challenged the status quo, and insisted on innovation while staying deeply committed to enduring relationships. With strong leadership support and trusted partners alongside us, we achieved these milestones together. We win and lose as a team and in 2025, we certainly won in a big way.”

Channel and its subsidiaries are proud to enter 2026 with a modernized platform, a unified organization, and a clear aim for what’s next. The progress achieved this year has strengthened the company’s ability to serve partners with consistency and confidence, prepared to build on this momentum and pursue even greater opportunities ahead.
