John Dur, Jr.
Founder, CEO
scan with phone camera to add to Contacts
Mr. Dur, after spending his early years in Hartford, Tokyo, Toronto, and Lafayette, LA, attended the University of Minnesota’s Carlson School of Management while working as an Accounting Trainer at American Express Financial Advisors. He became a C.P.A. and managed the audits of hedge funds and regulated investment companies for KPMG in both the Minneapolis and Chicago offices. He later relocated to Los Angeles to take a position with Huron Consulting Group, for which he worked on the Northwest Airlines bankruptcy restructure, a currency translation undertaking for a subsidiary of Navistar in Porto Alegre, Brazil, the Office Depot earnings restatement among other assignments.
Mr. Dur's career in lending began in 2012 when asked to work as the Compliance Officer for a factor based in Florida having issues with California based clients. After successfully collecting out of three separate deals in which the client breached the contract, he was offered an opportunity to build the brand on the West Coast. Closing a $5 million facility in 2015, the largest in the company’s then 8-year history, solidified his interest in the secondary lending market.
Mr. Dur formed Manhattan Commercial Finance in 2017 based on a formidable opportunity in alternative financing products emerging. The Company has been profitable since 2018, structured over $40MM in commercial financing in 2019 and continued scaling through 2020 by adapting to the market, embracing emerging products and maintaining the vast network of relationships developed over the years.
