FAVO Capital President Shaun Quin has been accepted into the Forbes Business Council, an invitation-only network of business leaders, marking a significant recognition of his expertise in alternative finance and capital markets. Quin's selection was based on his leadership record and more than two decades of experience in capital markets, alternative finance, and organizational transformation.
As a member of the prestigious council, Quin will contribute thought leadership content onForbes.com and participate in expert panels and events. His first article, published on August 19, addresses the growing trend of small businesses turning to private credit and provides guidance for business owners considering this financing option. The article, titled "Why Some Small Businesses Turn to Private Credit — And What Owners Should Consider," reflects Quin's deep understanding of the alternative lending landscape.
This development matters because it signals broader industry recognition of the role that alternative finance companies play in filling funding gaps left by traditional banking institutions. FAVO Capital, trading under the symbol OTC: FAVO, is a diversified finance company that provides alternative revenue-based funding solutions to small and medium-sized businesses across the United States. The company complements its business lending operations with strategic investments in income-producing real estate, creating a diversified financial services model.
Since its inception, FAVO Capital has supported more than 10,000 businesses through the purchase of future receipts while simultaneously building a portfolio of stabilized, cash-flowing real estate assets. This dual approach strengthens the company's balance sheet and expands its collateral base, providing stability and growth potential. The company maintains operations in New York and the Dominican Republic while being headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Quin's acceptance into the Forbes Business Council comes at a time when alternative financing options are gaining increased attention from small and medium-sized businesses seeking flexible capital solutions. The recognition highlights the growing importance of non-traditional lending platforms in supporting business growth and economic development. For the New York City metro area, where many small businesses rely on alternative funding sources, this acknowledgment underscores the critical role of firms like FAVO Capital in providing capital access and driving local economic activity.
