💚 Lending designed for the “main street” entrepreneur 💚
Let’s face it, “traditional lending” isn’t really designed for the small guy anymore.
Gone are the days of going into your local bank with a business plan, getting money because of it…
And even though it’s fun to pick on banks, it’s really no fault of their own either.
Instead, it’s a by-product of strict regulations that took place back in 2008, ones that were implemented to battle the “housing crisis”.
Congress saw how banks were doing shady deals, so they put restrictions in place to regulate this…
A great idea at the surface, but it had negative consequences as well.
Now, instead of being able to work with business owners who ACTUALLY need money, banks can only lend to those who like cheap capital.
Anybody else tends to fall outside of the “lending guidelines” they have to follow, creating the “credit crunch” we all know about…
And that’s why more people are turning to:
💚Alternative Lending💚
With this industry, the funding comes from private investors, so underwriting is more “practical”.
Don’t get us wrong, there’s still rules to follow, so it’s not the wild west…
But from an approval standpoint, the odds are exponentially higher.
If we had to give you some form of comparison, we’d say their underwriting is similar to “pre-2008” banking…
Where the deal has to make sense, but if it does, there’s a good chance they can make it happen.
Whether it’s customized products that are designed for today’s business owner, or practical underwriting guidelines that follow common sense…
There’s a lot of ways for business owners to get funding in this industry, even if banks have said no in the past, and if you’re interested:
💚Here’s how to see what we can do for you💚
As with everything in commercial lending, the specifics vary by deal.
One company might be a perfect fit for our line of credit, another company might be better suited for asset-based lending…
It’s impossible to tell at this point, BUT, there is one thing We wanted to mention.
Seems to be a question on everybody’s minds, where they think this is “too good to be true”, so in the spirit of transparency…
Yes, there’s a good chance we’ll be more expensive than traditional banks.
Not all the time, but most of the time because well, we’re designed to help business owners who can’t get bank loans.
Remember, their loan rates are designed for “A+” credits, reason why everything is so “cheap” (at the surface)...
But with our industry, we take on more risk - so more interest is involved.
Of course, there’s still some caps and all that, meaning they won’t be out of this world…
And we always try to make sure you get an ROI from our deals, so it’s “cheap” from that perspective, but something I wanted to mention upfront.
If you’re not cool with that, we’re probably not a good fit…
And lastly, we don’t really work with “startups” either.
In certain cases we do, but it’s gotta be a legit deal.
If you’re looking for inventory on your first e-commerce business, and need 100% financing…
We’re probably not a good fit.
Lenders need to see some skin in the game first, so you’re much better off starting small - then getting a loan after you’ve validated your product.
On the other hand, if you’re a trucker who’s looking to become an owner-operator, and need to buy a new rig…
Then there’s a chance we’ll be able to help you.
Might need a down payment, but again, the situation varies…
So if you’re interested in learning more, here’s the:
💚Next Steps💚
For the next step of this process, the first thing we ask is that you send us a message.
Nothing wild, just give us a brief overview of what you’re looking for, that way we can send the correct infokit after that.
For example, something along the lines of:
“Looking to buy a piece of new equipment, want to see your rates”...
Would be perfect.
After that, We’d send an infokit that explains everything in more detail, that way you can proceed accordingly after that.
If you want a free quote, we can do that for you, if not…
No worries either, you’ve kept your options open for later on down the road.
Anyway, that’s it for now, so if you’d like to learn more about alternative lending…
Or better yet, how it can grow your business, then please:
Scroll down
1. Hit “send message”
2. Give me a brief overview of what you’re looking for…
And we’ll be in touch shortly after that, with a free infokit (that explains everything else in full detail).

P.S. And just to clarify, when we say “startup”, we are talking about anybody who’s been in business for less than 6 months and doesn’t have (at least) $10K/month in revenue.
If you’re over that, there’s a good chance we can help with lending, so please don’t hesitate to reach out because you’re “too small”...
Just wanted to mention this upfront as we don’t generally work with people who are brand new and don’t have any revenue.
