Bolt-on acquisition adds seller-note sourcing capabilities and expands Heritage Global’s Financial Assets platform into additional assets and channels SAN DIEGO, California (August 3, 2026) – Heritage Global Inc. (NASDAQ: HGBL) (“Heritage Global,” “HG” or “the Company”), an asset services company specializing in financial and industrial asset transactions, today announced that its Financial Assets division has acquired Boston Note Company, a nationwide broker and buyer of privately held loans, notes, and mortgages, commonly known as seller notes or carry-back notes.
"For 35 years Boston Note has helped the owners of seller and carry-back notes generate immediate liquidity by quickly and efficiently selling their notes at the best possible prices," said Ross Dove, chief executive officer of Heritage Global.
"Starting earlier this year, Heritage and Boston Note closely partnered to test our combined capabilities. The results from that partnership were so promising that it made a full merger logically compelling for both parties.
"We intend to build on Boston Note's well-earned reputation and strength in the performing residential real estate market by leveraging the deep institutional investor relationships at DebtX and NLEX to significantly expand the scope and scale of Boston Note's offerings with a particular focus on Commercial Real Estate (CRE) backed seller notes, jumbo residential real estate notes and the addition of liquidity options for non-performing seller and carryback notes.
“With the addition of Boston Note, Heritage’s Financial Asset division is building upon the DebtX acquisition we announced earlier this year to enter additional financial asset classes and distribution channels thus making more progress towards our goal of helping any owner of any financial asset get the best possible price for their asset in the fastest, safest and easiest way possible,” Dove concluded.
“Boston Note has built its business by helping thousands of private-note sellers from all across the United States quickly and efficiently sell their seller and carryback notes at the best possible prices,” said Lance Van Dam, president of Boston Note Company. “Joining Heritage Global immediately provides additional channels, capital and relationships that enable Boston Note to further expand its residential and commercial real estate seller-note capabilities under the same trusted and recognized brand.”
Following the transaction, Boston Note Company will do business as Boston Note, a Heritage Global company. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
