GTF’s target market was larger vendor concerns that would benefit from GTF’s back office, systems, and vast funding capabilities. Vendors that partnered with GTF to take advantage of GTF’s on-line private-label solutions enjoyed all of the benefits of having a captive finance arm without actually spending the time, effort, monies on development in the hopes of generating the business prowess that GTF’s systems and expertise provided on a turnkey basis.

Since the banking and financial crash of 2008, Mr. Berg has has consulted for several local and regional banks to develop both internal systems and lending platforms for small businesses. He sits on the board of two local banks in an advisory capacity. Most of the sales finance and leasing platforms developed for the banks have involved medical credit.

Mr. Berg joined the hedge fund, JSK Partners of New York to run their fixed income desk. Primarily accomplished through specific qualified vendor sales finance programs, Mr. Berg has specific responsibility to invest the fund’s assets in medical equipment sales finance. He is responsible for all internal processing systems and business operational flow, as well as approving vendor sales programs to structure for internal funding and the creation of the fixed medical receivables.

Mr. Berg was an instructor at the LEASE TRAINING INSTITUTE. Considered an expert in the field, Mr. Berg taught advanced finance classes, concentrating on lease financing, to Continuing Education students in several fields including Accounting, and Actuarial.
