 ____________________________________________

Tell us about your role/firm.

I’m Sabina Smits, a Senior Executive at Bridgeport Capital. We help businesses improve cash flow by providing invoice financing and factoring solutions, unlocking funds tied up in accounts receivable. With over 30 years in specialty finance, I specialize in supporting staffing, manufacturing, transportation, healthcare, security, and government contracting companies. We also offer generous referral fees for introductions to businesses that can benefit from our services.

What types of opportunities are you seeking?

I’m seeking opportunities to connect with business owners, advisors, and investors who work with rapidly growing companies that may benefit from improved cash flow solutions. Through Bridgeport Capital, I help companies unlock working capital tied up in receivables. I’m particularly looking to build partnerships within the Orlando business community, especially with those involved in staffing, manufacturing, transportation, healthcare, security, and government contracting, where invoice financing can be a catalyst for accelerated growth.

What motivated you to join ACG Orlando?

I joined ACG Orlando to build deeper connections with growth-minded business leaders across industries. As someone who works closely with entrepreneurs and rapidly growing companies, ACG offered the perfect environment to exchange ideas, stay current on market trends, and create valuable partnerships. The collaborative energy and high-level networking have been instrumental in expanding my professional network and helping my clients find new opportunities for growth. It's been an incredibly rewarding experience!

Motto or quote you live by?

"Listen more than you speak." Early in my career, a mentor taught me that truly listening—to clients, colleagues, and even competitors—opens doors that aggressive selling never will. This approach has helped me build trust, solve real problems, and create lasting business relationships, especially in industries where understanding the client's evolving needs is everything.
