"Over the next 12 months, SG Companies will increase investment in SG Premier Lending Group to ensure its competitive edge grows even further," said Dovi Frances co-founder of SG Companies. "We are already well positioned to provide our clients with a broad array of lending solutions regardless of the asset – be it a primary or vacation home, a multi-family or investment property – even aircraft or yachts. But we want to reach a point where our platform of lending partners is broad enough that no matter what the client's needs are – we can provide a solution.

It is a division of Dovi Frances' and billionaire Sergey Grishin's SG Companies which also includes SG Private Wealth Advisors, LLC, a wealth advisory and consulting firm providing high net-worth clients with comprehensive and customized credit solutions.
