Pacific Capital Funding Group is at the opening stage of a chapter 11 case, with no filed financing motion, sale process, plan, or hearing calendar yet reflected in the supplied record. The Novato, California financial-services debtor commenced the case on June 16, 2026 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California through its voluntary chapter 11 petitionDkt. 1, listing estimated assets and liabilities each in the $10 million to $50 million range and 100 to 199 creditors.
The petition frames the case around a Pacific Private Money-related lending and investment structure: the debtor identifies 13 affiliated entities, including Pacific Private Money, Inc. and multiple Pacific-branded funds, and its largest unsecured creditors are primarily private investors and trusts. The petition’s creditor disclosureDkt. 1 lists Saluda Grade Alternative Lending & Fintech Growth Fund I LP as the largest unsecured creditor at $6.189 million, states that funds are expected to be available for unsecured creditors, and does not indicate either a prepackaged plan or a Subchapter V election. William Brinkman is identified as chief restructuring officer and authorized representative, so the near-term posture is a newly filed, CRO-led chapter 11 awaiting first-day relief, any liquidity proposal, and a clearer plan or sale path.
