Two or three lenders who buy files like yours. Not twenty who might.

Packaging

The same business can read as two different files depending on how it’s presented. A concrete company showing 70% of revenue between May and October is a normal file with a sentence attached, and a problem file without one.

So before anything goes out, we explain the seasonality, account for the large one-off deposit, disclose the existing debt the statements would reveal anyway, and state the use of funds in a way an underwriter can act on. None of this is spin. It’s the difference between an underwriter asking a question and an underwriter guessing at the answer.

Choosing partners

Lenders specialize by trade, revenue band, credit profile and state, and they change their appetite quarter to quarter. A decline often means nothing more than that the file met the wrong underwriter.

Your file goes to the two or three partners whose current criteria it actually matches, in parallel. Shopping it to twenty would produce a stack of declines that follow the business around, and it’s the single most damaging thing an intermediary can do to a client while appearing to work hard.

Comparing offers

Every offer arrives on one page: amount, total cost, payment schedule, term, fees, and anything unusual flagged in plain English. Prepayment terms, personal guarantee scope, UCC filings, and covenants that could bite later all get called out.

If your own bank has already offered you something better, we’ll tell you that and you should take it. Declining every offer costs you nothing and follows you nowhere.
