– Capital Stream, Inc. announced steady increases in revenues, subscribers and contract values since April 2000, the launch date of CapitalStream.com, its e-finance platform that allows companies to streamline commercial financing online. Since this April, company revenues increased an average of 28 percent per month, the number of subscribers to CapitalStream.com has increased an average of 35 percent per month and values of contracts signed have increased an average of 85 percent per month.

Said Stephen Campbell, president and CEO of CapitalStream, "We have a unique value proposition that services each segment of the commercial finance industry. In fact, over 50 companies and 460 respective participants have turned to CapitalStream's e-finance platform. The expanding number of funding sources and lease brokers who subscribe to the CapitalStream.com network have increased the number of online commercial finance applications by an average of 200 percent every month."

By providing customers an e-finance platform with a broad range of applications and services, CapitalStream helps finance companies, manufactures and B2B e-commerce companies put in place online transaction processing. Unlike commercial finance solutions that market direct to end users and disintermediate the finance brokers, CapitalStream is helping both the originators and suppliers of financing to streamline workflow, better manage credit risk and improve profitability. CapitalStream supports both the traditional distribution channels and emerging markets online and enables subscribers to better control upstream and downstream relationships while differentiating their service offerings online.

"These numbers represent a fast move out of the gate for an e-finance platform provider," said Campbell. "They place us on track to quickly become the leader in the industry in terms of actual approved finance deals."

Seattle-based CapitalStream is a leading provider of hosted e-commerce solutions – including customer program management tools, workflow automation, and an online transaction network – for the global commercial finance market. The company's e-commerce solution, CapitalStream.com, provides the infrastructure that enables private label and customer managed online capabilities for finance companies, manufacturers and B2B e-commerce companies to capture, grow and service customers.
