For Greater Houston business owners

Does this sound familiar?

  • The bank turned you down, or offered far less than you asked for.
  • You're running the business on personal credit cards.
  • You don't know your business credit scores, or don't have any yet.
  • You need capital for equipment, hiring, inventory or a new location.
  • Revenue is growing, but profit and cash aren't keeping up.

We work with contractors, trucking, medical, restaurants, retail, e-commerce and professional services firms.

What lenders look at

Lenders judge more than your credit score.

We review the factors that decide approvals, then fix the red flags before you apply.

  • Entity setup, EIN, business address, phone and listings
  • Business credit reports with Dun & Bradstreet, Experian and Equifax
  • Bank balances, deposits and revenue history
  • Financial statements, tax returns and cash flow
  • Time in business, industry and the owner's personal credit

Funding we help you pursue

Business lines of credit · Term loans · SBA loans · Equipment and vehicle financing · Commercial real estate financing
