Frequently Asked Questions
What is “alternative financing” for businesses and commercial real estate projects?
Traditional bank financing is typically available only to the most established and healthy businesses. However, there are many successful businesses that get declined for bank funding for a variety of reasons. Also, some businesses qualify for bank financing but they prefer a less bureaucratic and faster method of financing in the alternative lending (non-bank) space. There are billions of dollars in capital ready to be deployed into solid businesses in the world of alternative financing.
