    Need a list of DIRECT LENDERS

    Hello Brokers,

    I had to step away from the business loan industry a couple of years ago because double brokering on loans was cutting into my commissions, making it unsustainable to continue.

    Now, I’m looking to re-enter the industry and want to work exclusively with reputable DIRECT LENDERS for a variety of loan products, including:

    MCA (Merchant Cash Advances)
    Equipment Financing
    Lines of Credit (LOC)
    Term Loans
    Working Capital
    SBA Loans
    Accounts Receivable & Purchase Order Financing
    Asset-Based Loans
    Franchise Loans
    Fix & Flip Loans
    Commercial Real Estate Loans, etc.

    If anyone here has a list of direct lenders for these loan products or can point me in the right direction, I’d greatly appreciate your help.

    Looking forward to learning and collaborating with this community!

    Lexington and Midwest Corporate Credit both work with local banks to get credit card programs for merchants. They both charge success fees. They aren't a direct lender, per se, but do work directly with banks.

    Documents Needed business credit cards:

    . Tri merged credit report
    . Below 25% utilization on all revolving Personal credit lines(we can consult the client on that we
    will still Pre approve if over utilized)
    All Industries are accepted!
    This program has NO minimum Time in business requirement, NO minimum revenue
    requirement

    Keep in mind as well both of these programs can be run with a Co signer as well!
    MCA positions do not matter for either of these programs and neither do MCA Defaults!!
    (bank loc may depend if high MCA debt affects their debt schedule, we do have ways around)
    True start ups can utilize this program to get their business moving and declines can be
    monetized by utilizing a Co Signer!

    Typical Turnaround time is between 2 - 4 weeks depending on a few factors.

    THIS IS BUSINESS FINANCING!! NO CREDIT CARD OR LINE OF CREDIT WILL REPORT
    ON THE PERSONAL CREDIT(unless the client goes 150 days late)

    The success fee can be charged as 10% 12% or 15% depending on what the client / partner is
    comfortable with.

    Here are some references to equipment lenders:

    Tony - he can get deals done that most lender's can't - has no maximum and also can do cannabis.

    Equipment Financing Questions to ask....
    If you are talking to a trucking company who needs money, ask
    Use of funds - equipment financing, working capital or each/both?
    Break it down.

    Loans up to 7 years and rates 8% and up.

    Programs for Fico 680 and up
    620 to 680
    Below 620

    Amount of money requested...

    Day cab, sleeper or what
    Long haul, short haul or what?
    How many truck current own
    Type of products hauled
    DOT number
    Fico
    Loan App
    4 months business bank statements
    Most recent business tax return

    Do they require apportioned plate?
    Are they Owner Operator or they have drivers?
    If have drivers how many driver currently work with them?

    If Owner Operator How many years of CDL/ Industry hauling experience?

    Is PG a Homeowner or they are renting?

    Have they financed or leased a truck before?
    How is their current payment history?
    If required can we get loan reference from the other lender(s)?

    Invoice on truck he wants to buy
    Mileage on invoice.
    year on invoice
    NOTE: Over 500,000 miles and over 10 years old makes it a C-D financing.

    For a private party equipment transaction we would need the following:

    - Complete condition report (showing make, year, model, with current condition and mileage) - see attached
    - Photos of the unit

    Once unit is approved then lender will request;
    - Copy of title (front and back)
    - Bill of Sale

    Here are some references to lenders:

    Some SBA loan tips...include projections with your file....

    So I got three SBA deals from a broker this week.

    Each was looking for 100% to 150% of their revenue in a SBA loan.

    Guys - you need to learn how to be a loan officer and use some common sense rather than be just be intake paper filler outers....

    One was doing around $800K and seeking $1.5M

    And they wanted money to hire people, do marketing, and expand the business.

    For the Hell of it I sent it to my contact at the country's largest SBA lender...

    She did a cash flow and figured this merchant could get around $175,000.

    Now I want to point out, per SBA guidelines, you can't get money to hire people to expand. SBA allows hiring for existing contracts and ongoing business. (Yes I do have SBA lenders that do allow that but that's beside the point)

    And that being said, if the merchant would do a 24 month projection of use of funds and the impact on revenue and EBIDTA, they could qualify for a larger loan amount.

    So when you submit a SBA loan package, it will greatly enhance your file and possibly allow you to get a larger amount if you simply do your homework.

    Here's a sample:

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...2#gid=13318722

    Here's a blank form to use:

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...#gid=252635235

    When you do your submission, include an executive summary like the following:

    We are seeking $350,000 in SBA 7A financing to:

    A. Consolidate business debt and reduce debt payments
    B. Obtain working capital to service current bids that are pending awaiting capitalization.

    We want to pay off $178,00 in 4 high interest business loans that have a monthly expense of $17,373. A SBA 7A at 6% will reduce this to $1,980 a month = saving us $15,393 a month. Note: We have several vehicles that are required for this industry - debt which is separate on the balance sheet and form 2202.

    We are in the process of submitting bids for several new clients. We need $150,000 in additional working capital for labor/materials/overhead to service this new business.

    Client A $275 a month
    Client B $400 a month
    Client C $22,000 a month
    Client D $2,600 a month
    Client E $300 a month

    Total new business bids: $25,5475 a month projected increase in revenue

    We are currently billing 103 different clients operating as a contract cleaning company. Covid has had very little impact on our business. During the height of the pandemic, we were performing deep sanitizing so operations grew in sales and net income.

    Total revenue for 2021: $1,025,000
    Net income: 126,854
    Depreciation: 51,500
    Net income w/o deprec. 178,354

    Total revenue for 2020: $761,109
    Net income (437)
    Depreciation: 138,672
    Net income w/o deprec. 138,235

    Total revenue for 2019: $461,435
    Net income: 12,825
    Deprec: 104,591
    Net income w/o deprec 117,416

    We have two SFR real estate properties and 1 ten acre of land with equity in all to collateralize this loan.

    Fico is a bit below 660 due to a recent purchase of several trucks and use of company credit card equity to help some employees.

    Re: Steve's "pulled" list

    I'd recommend getting a real and updated list from someone who focused on MCA. Just as an example, Fundshop is a broker and everyone has told people to stay away from Infusion (they have been known to not pay brokers) and Key Capital (who was or is a World Global Fund/Solomon/Hybrid entity that does the bait & switch stuff).

    Is Vivian still around? The rest isn't too bad. A+ you'd also go with OnDeck and IOU, if you can get onboarded with them. There are a lot of new players that are doing pretty good things. Very interesting that no direct funders actually posted on this thread though. Quikstone is here, TMRNOW is here, Kevin @ Seacoast is here, all direct. If you email me, there's a few introductions that I can make to help you get taken care of with the rest.

    Absolutely.....I pulled it from an old posting and I'm certainly not the guy updated on MCA lenders.

    I work for a tue direct funder. We do the real mca which is the credit card split and we have ach options of qualified. My first position renewals are a true add on like a line of credit of sorts. This keeps merchant for the most part from stacking and staying with you. We will pay off a stack to be a stack if and when it makes sense. We fund A-D paper depending on the deal and what makes it higher risk. Fell free to reach out to me.
