Hello,

Can anyone tell me the best direct lenders for start-up funding? We have several partner agreements with direct lenders but they are not the go-to's for start up financing. If it helps this is my clients' current scenario -

The client has been awarded a multi-million dollar government contract - his company is the sub but he has the signed award.
It's a new contract signed less than a month ago. He needs funding to buy the initial fleet of transportation vehicles (ideally 1 million but will look at any amount of funding). The client has 35 years in the industry but took several years off (retired). He is re-entering the industry because of this newly awarded contract. Because he doesn't have financials for the last year, he is viewed as a start-up/new business. Separately, the client is also being considered for similar government contract in another state for the same type of work. This will create more funding opportunities for the firm that I can partner with.

Please let me know if you know of a lender that can assist with this.

Thanks!
