NEW YORK, June 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Newtek Business Services Corp. ("The Company"), (NASDAQ: NEWT), an internally managed business development company ("BDC"), today announced that its lending subsidiary, Newtek Small Business Finance, LLC, signed a lease for 33,899 square feet of office space located at 1981 Marcus Avenue, Lake Success, New York.  The Company anticipates the lease to commence in the first quarter of 2016. CBRE Group Inc. advised The Company with this transaction.

Barry Sloane, President, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Newtek Business Services Corp. said, "We are pleased to announce the signing of this new lease, signifying the anticipated further expansion of our lending business, growth of our other portfolio companies and potential future acquisitions.  Acquiring this space furthers our goal of housing all of our service offerings in a central location in order to sell and cross-market our products and services in a more efficient and effective manner."

Mr. Sloane continued, "We believe we have chosen a supreme address for our expansion and recruitment of new personnel.  Its central location will allow us to more easily recruit talent from the five Boroughs, Long Island and parts of Westchester, and offers proximity to New York City, which is easily accessible via both public and private transportation.  Furthermore, there are three additional buildings contiguous to this address that offer an added 1.0 million square feet of space, which further enhanced the attractiveness of expanding our business in this particular location.  We look forward to beginning to occupy this space during the first quarter of 2016."

Martin Lomazow, Senior Vice President at CBRE said, "We are pleased to have represented Newtek in this transaction.  Newtek's fast growth and desire to expand its Long Island operations is a fantastic story on Long Island.  Growth of regional firms such as Newtek is extremely important to our local economy."
