How it works
Call (706) 963-2915 or visit our Bogart office. Bring two years of business tax returns, three months of bank statements, a driver's license, and a list of debts. We review your file, identify which lenders will compete for your deal, then submit to two or three at once. Turnaround runs seven to forty-five days depending on the program. You'll receive term sheets, we'll explain trade-offs, and you pick the offer. Closing happens at the lender's office or by courier.
