Colebrook Financial Hits One Billion Dollars in Funding to the Timeshare Industry

At 9:54 a.m. on May 1, Colebrook Financial funded the billionth dollar they have loaned since starting the company. “The first month we were in business,” said principal Bill Ryczek, “We funded a grand total of $181,000. At that rate, it would have taken us 460 years to reach a billion. None of us thought we had the longevity for that, so we picked up the pace.”

Global Exchange Development Company was the borrower of the billionth dollar, and Ryczek and fellow principal Mark Raunikar took Global CEO Rick Sargent to dinner at the Aria casino in Las Vegas to commemorate the occasion. Colebrook wants to express its gratitude to Global Exchange and all of its loyal customers and looks forward to serving them for many years to come.
