History
What is a Sallyport?
- Sallyport is a combination of two Latin words. A “sally,” derived from the Latin “salire”(to jump), and “port,” derived from the Latin “porta” (a door or passage way).
- Thus a Sallyport was the gate in the castle walls that troops rode out to do battle against their assailants.
- Sallyport Gate is also a famous gate at Rice University, attended by Sallyport Holdings Founder, Doug Foshee.
- At Sallyport Commercial Finance we see ourselves as the “troops” standing behind our entrepreneur clients and their businesses as you compete and win customers in your industry and marketplace.
