CoBiz Financial has formed CoBiz Structured Finance, which will provide asset-based loans to middle market businesses. Chris Randall - previously a co-founder, board member and coo of MFC Capital Funding in Chicago - will lead the group.

"The lower middle market for leveraged loans is currently underserved by the banking industry in our markets," comments Jonathan Lorenz, ceo of Colorado Business Bank and Arizona Business Bank. "Chris' knowledge and experience in leveraged lending will allow us to bring great depth to our loan products and continue to be responsive to the credit needs of businesses. The creation of CoBiz Structured Finance will allow us to serve growing businesses that are highly leveraged without incurring significant risk to the bank's credit quality."
