Lender Considerations
Time to Close
We are a small and responsive organization. Our level of interest will be determined and communicated within a few days, and on average, we will close in two to three weeks following receipt of legal and financial information.
Confidentiality
We understand and respect the need for confidentiality throughout the entire loan sale process due to the sensitive nature of the lender-borrower relationship.
Borrower Considerations
Borrower Support
Our goal is for the existing owners to remain in control of their company. We support our borrowers by adjusting payment terms to manage through cash flow issues, and we offer our borrowers third-party expertise from our consultant network to assist in stabilizing their business.
Additional Capital
In situations where the lender is unwilling or unable to advance additional capital, we have the capacity to provide a structured financing solution assuming the company has a viable business plan which supports repayment.
