OCBJ

For the fourth consecutive year, Orange County Business Journal (OCBJ) has named New American Funding to its annual Private Companies list. The Southern California-based mortgage lender made the 27th annual list at #42, moving up from its #48 ranking last year. More than 100 companies are represented on the 2017 list, ranging from healthcare, technology, and construction businesses, all of which make up a key part of Orange County’s economy.

In order to be ranked by OCBJ, a company had to be privately owned, headquartered in Orange County, and have a minimum annual revenue of $100 million for the 12-month period ending December of 2016. “It’s rewarding to make OCBJ’s list of Top Private Companies for four consecutive years. This recognition is a testament to the outstanding dedication and commitment of our hard-working team on a daily basis,” said COO Christy Bunce.  “We’re constantly searching for new ways to stretch ourselves and to outperform yesterday’s achievements.”
