Monitor – Jan/Feb 2025 – In the competitive world of equipment finance, a strong company culture is often the differentiating factor that separates the good from the great. Ansley Park Capital has established itself as a leader in this space, not just for its innovative financing solutions but for cultivating a culture that sets a gold standard. Founded in January 2024, the company quickly rose to prominence, earning recognition as a top workplace for culture in the industry.
Ansley Park specializes in providing tailored financial solutions for essential-use, large-ticket equipment across diverse asset types and industries in the U.S. and Canada. Backed byAres Management Alternative Credit funds, the company was formed through the union of the former Bci Capital team and Ares . This merger brought together over 30 seasoned professionals, many of whom have worked together for more than 25 years. Their enduring camaraderie reflects a culture rooted in collaboration, mutual respect and shared purpose.
“Our culture is the foundation of everything we do,” Eric Miller, president and CEO, says. “It’s not just a buzzword; it’s the glue that holds us together and the lens through which we deliver for our customers and stakeholders.”
A Culture of Shared Values
At Ansley Park, culture begins at the hiring stage. The company seeks out high-performing individuals who align with its core values: integrity, accountability, respect, honest communication and customer focus. These principles are guideposts for daily operations and interactions.
Employees describe Ansley Park’s culture as one where everyone’s contributions matter. “At the end of the day — whether it’s an eight-hour or a 16 -hour day — we want to feel good about what we’ve accomplished together,” a team member says. The company’s unwavering commitment to doing the right thing, even when it’s challenging, fosters an environment of trust and pride.
Teamwork & Transparency
Open communication is another cornerstone of Ansley Park’s culture. Bi-weekly all-hands meetings and impromptu gatherings ensure that employees stay aligned with the company’s mission and values. Transparency extends to all levels of the organization, promoting a culture where ideas and feedback are not only welcomed but celebrated. Innovative contributions are highlighted in real-time through instant messaging and team emails, further fostering a sense of unity.
Ansley Park also excels in its approach to diversity, equity and inclusion. The company is intentional about creating a space where differences are appreciated and celebrated. Beginning in 2025, Ansley Park will launch the “Walk in the Park” series, where employees share their personal stories in front of a live audience. This initiative underscores the company’s commitment to understanding and valuing the unique experiences of its team members.
Learning, Accountability & Recognition
The company views accountability as essential for growth. Mistakes are seen as opportunities to learn and improve, aligning with Ansley Park’s ethos of striving to be “1% better every day.” Additionally, recognition is embedded in the company’s DNA. From celebrating small wins to acknowledging exceptional efforts in all-team meetings, Ansley Park ensures employees feel valued.
Ansley Park’s culture has been tested and proven under challenging circumstances. During a year-long M&A process, not a single employee from the 30-member team left — a testament to the strength of their shared mission. This unity is not only a point of pride but also a clear indicator of the culture’s resilience and effectiveness.
“Our shared vision and values are what drive our success,” Miller says. “When you combine teamwork with a culture that people genuinely want to be part of, you create something truly special.”
As Ansley Park continues to grow, its culture will remain the bedrock of its achievements, proving that when people come first, success follows.
