We encourage you to contact us with any questions!

  • We take applications only to $50,000.00.
  • We review all transactions individually, meaning we are flexible and not tied to a rigid scoring model.
  • We offer competitive pricing based on our special profit sharing model.
  • Ideally we look for a 700 and above FICO Score and a Paydex Score of 65 and above, but we don’t have hard minimums. We try to view the big picture, when evaluating credit-worthiness of potential customers. 
  • We do not accept sale-lease-back transactions, and prefer not to do private party sales.
  • Brokers must have a minimum of three (3) years in business under current ownership.
  • We look for Personal Guarantees from principals and their spouses on every transaction, with exceptions generally reserved for deals with qualifying financials and histories.
  • Likewise we look for ACH on all transactions. We have our own in-house form that we will provide to you to add to your doc packages.
  • On approvals, we often request that transactions be subdivided into multiple schedules to keep contract sizes smaller for the sake of our investors.
  • We email out an approval or decline notice within 24 hours. All approvals are good for 90 days unless adverse information is received. Credit extensions are available upon request, but updated information may be required.
