One advisor, start to finish.

You'll work with the same person from your first call through funding. No handoffs, no repeating your story.

Every offer comes with a clear breakdown of cost, payments, and trade-offs, so you can decide with eyes open.

04

Built for owners, not committees.

Questions, answered

Things owners ask us most.

Don't see your question? Call your dedicated advisor. We'll give you a straight answer.

Will applying hurt my credit?
No. The initial review is a soft pull and does not affect your credit score. A hard pull only happens if you choose to accept a specific offer that requires one.
How fast can I actually get funded?
For short-term products, same-day funding is possible if your application is in by mid-morning and your documents are ready. Most clients are funded within 24 to 72 hours.
What documents do I need?
For most products: a completed application, your last 3-6 months of business bank statements, and a copy of your driver's license. SBA and larger loans require additional documentation.
Do you charge any upfront fees?
No. We are paid by the lender when a loan funds. You will never be asked for a deposit, application fee, or any payment before your loan is in your account.
What if my credit isn't great?
We work with many businesses that have less-than-perfect credit. Strong revenue and consistent deposits matter more for most of our products than your personal credit score.
Am I obligated to accept an offer?
Never. You're free to review your offers, ask questions, compare them to other quotes, or walk away entirely. There's no cost and no obligation.
