How it works

How the money moves.

One soft check to match. One hard pull, and only from the lender you choose. That mechanism is why this is not a broker.

Why this exists

Why the usual lenders say no.

Your revenue is real. The problem is the form. Here is why traditional underwriting turns away healthy operators in this space, and what we do differently.

01

Too much time in business

Banks often demand five years of tax returns for small construction firms.

Our lenders focus on the asset value rather than just your operating history.
02

Credit score under 650

Traditional lenders immediately reject credit scores below the prime threshold.

We work with specialty lenders that consider equipment collateral over credit score.
03

Incomplete documentation

Missing a single financial schedule can stall a standard bank application.

Our partners provide a clear checklist to help you organize necessary financials.
