Why Connecticut Borrowers Choose Us Over Local Banks
Local banks in Connecticut are often slow, require mountains of documentation, and reject borrowers who don’t fit a narrow qualification box. We work differently.
- Direct lender since 1998 — We fund our own loans. No brokers, no referral fees passed to you, no committee approval delays.
- Same-day response — Submit your deal and hear back from a decision maker within hours, not days or weeks.
- No upfront fees — We never charge application fees, processing fees, or due diligence fees before closing.
- No tax returns on most programs — We qualify based on the asset and its income, not your personal tax history.
- Fast closings — Most Connecticut commercial loans close in 5–15 business days from application to funding.
- Common-sense underwriting — We look at the deal, not just the borrower’s credit file. If the property makes sense, we find a way to fund it.
