I would like to introduce you to a revolutionary new approach to business lending.  We call it the GPS of business lending, because getting access to the capital you need with the right structure can be more challenging than you think.

Our story.

Over the past 30 years, I have been involved in hundreds of financing deals and, over time, I began to notice trends.

First, bankers have their own language and although I’m a CPA and understood the technical definition of various financial terms, I had to learn how they were using the terms in the context of the lending transaction.

Second, the process was a black hole… I

  • Met with the loan officer
  • Submitted tax returns and financials
  • Answered many questions
  • Eventually, received a proposal or a term sheet….

Third, I questioned if I was getting everything that I should get out of the lending transaction and should I be asking for something else.  I felt like I had no control over the process, like driving a car without a steering wheel

This is what I call the communication gapbusinessloan

I quickly realized that if I looked at a business and it’s financials from a banker’s perspective…I eliminated the communication gap.  Also, asking the right questions of the lender opened up more opportunities for a better lending structure.

Over time…it became a routine of…

  1. Access to capital
  2. Incredible lending structures and
  3. Controlled risk

This is a winning situation for both the business and the lender….a true win/win situation.

Why should you care?
