Colebrook Financial
Colebrook Financial Company, a leading lender to the timeshare and travel club industries announced that, due to the volume continuing to be generated by Vacation Club Loans (VCL), it has provided an additional $10 million in funding to the company which specializes in financing Disney Vacation Club® resales. This doubles its hypothecation loan to VCL, and combined with a $40 million purchase facility, increases Colebrook’s overall relationship with Vacation Club Loans to $60 million.
Mark Raunikar, Partner/Colebrook Financial, said that “Under the leadership of President Debbie Ely, VCL’s financing of Disney Vacation Club resales is at a record pace. The $10 million commitment that we closed last October has already been fully utilized, and we are pleased to announce that we recently doubled the capacity under the loan to $20 million. This will enable Debbie to continue growing her business, generating high quality vacation ownership receivables.”
Colebrook and VCL have had a relationship since 2016 and VCL’s principal owner Bert Blicher and Colebrook’s Partner Bill Ryczek have known each other since 1979.
Vacation Club Loans, based in Delray Beach, Florida, also provides financing for Marriott, Hyatt, Hilton, and Westin brands.
