đ Lending designed for the âmain streetâ entrepreneur đ
Letâs face it, âtraditional lendingâ isnât 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 itâŚ
And even though itâs fun to pick on banks, itâs really no fault of their own either.
Instead, itâs a by-product of strict regulations that took place back in 2008, ones that were implemented to battle the âhousing crisisâ.
Congress saw how banks were doing shady deals, so they put restrictions in place to regulate thisâŚ
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 âlending guidelinesâ they have to follow, creating the âcredit crunchâ we all know aboutâŚ
And thatâs why more people are turning to:
đAlternative Lendingđ
With this industry, the funding comes from private investors, so underwriting is more âpracticalâ.
Donât get us wrong, thereâs still rules to follow, so itâs not the wild westâŚ
But from an approval standpoint, the odds are exponentially higher.
If we had to give you some form of comparison, weâd say their underwriting is similar to âpre-2008â bankingâŚ
Where the deal has to make sense, but if it does, thereâs a good chance they can make it happen.
Whether itâs customized products that are designed for todayâs business owner, or practical underwriting guidelines that follow common senseâŚ
Thereâs a lot of ways for business owners to get funding in this industry, even if banks have said no in the past, and if youâre interested:
đHereâs how to see what we can do for youđ
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 lendingâŚ
Itâs impossible to tell at this point, BUT, there is one thing We wanted to mention.
Seems to be a question on everybodyâs minds, where they think this is âtoo good to be trueâ, so in the spirit of transparencyâŚ
Yes, thereâs a good chance weâll be more expensive than traditional banks.
Not all the time, but most of the time because well, weâre designed to help business owners who canât get bank loans.
Remember, their loan rates are designed for âA+â credits, reason why everything is so âcheapâ (at the surface)...
But with our industry, we take on more risk - so more interest is involved.
Of course, thereâs still some caps and all that, meaning they wonât be out of this worldâŚ
And we always try to make sure you get an ROI from our deals, so itâs âcheapâ from that perspective, but something I wanted to mention upfront.
If youâre not cool with that, weâre probably not a good fitâŚ
And lastly, we donât really work with âstartupsâ either.
In certain cases we do, but itâs gotta be a legit deal.
If youâre looking for inventory on your first e-commerce business, and need 100% financingâŚ
Weâre probably not a good fit.
Lenders need to see some skin in the game first, so youâre much better off starting small - then getting a loan after youâve validated your product.
On the other hand, if youâre a trucker whoâs looking to become an owner-operator, and need to buy a new rigâŚ
Then thereâs a chance weâll be able to help you.
Might need a down payment, but again, the situation variesâŚ
So if youâre interested in learning more, hereâs the:
đNext Stepsđ
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 youâre looking for, that way we can send the correct infokit after that.
For example, something along the lines of:
âLooking to buy a piece of new equipment, want to see your ratesâ...
Would be perfect.
After that, Weâd 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 notâŚ
No worries either, youâve kept your options open for later on down the road.
Anyway, thatâs it for now, so if youâd like to learn more about alternative lendingâŚ
Or better yet, how it can grow your business, then please:
Scroll down
1. Hit âsend messageâ
2. Give me a brief overview of what youâre looking forâŚ
And weâll 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 âstartupâ, we are talking about anybody whoâs been in business for less than 6 months and doesnât have (at least) $10K/month in revenue.
If youâre over that, thereâs a good chance we can help with lending, so please donât hesitate to reach out because youâre âtoo smallâ...
Just wanted to mention this upfront as we donât generally work with people who are brand new and donât have any revenue.
