Heather Francis Launching New Funding Company

One of the Six Women of Alternative Finance is leaving their current position to launch their own funding company. Heather Francis, EVP of Merchant Cash Group appeared in the September/October issue of DailyFunder. A regular at the industry’s conferences and who was in many ways the face of Merchant Cash Group, Francis is moving on to start Elevate Funding.

When the news broke, deBanked asked Francis about the change. This was her response:

“So the start of the new year begins with something exciting for me as I will be leaving Merchant Cash Group to pursue heading up my own funding company. Elevate funding is still in the set up stages and will not be operational and funding until Mid February but I can assure you that with each unveiling of what we will be funding and what we will offer to the Alternative Industry as well as the business owners will help shape a new future. I enjoyed my time at Merchant Cash Group and I wish them all the best but I am excited for this new adventure and to take a lot of the ideas that have been kicking in my head for a while and see them come to fruition. I know it will be difficult and I am greatly looking forward to the challenge. In the words of a Fort Minor song : This is 10% luck, 20% skill, 15% concentrated power of will, 5% pleasure , 50% pain, and a 100% reason to remember the name… Best of luck to all in 2015!”

Elevate will be based in Gainesville, FL.
