Small business
Small business loans deliver lump-sum or revolving capital that businesses repay over time. These products fund inventory, payroll, machinery, property acquisition, or seasonal gaps. As a broker, Hazelcrest Group connects you to lenders whose underwriting criteria align with your revenue, credit profile, and collateral. We do not lend money ourselves. Instead, we shop your application across multiple funding sources to improve your approval odds and streamline the process.
Crawford sits along Highway 22 west of Lexington, where family farms, small manufacturers, and service businesses anchor the economy. A feed supplier near Crawford might need equipment financing for a new pellet mill, while a contractor in the area could use a business line of credit to bridge payment cycles on county road projects.
Loan programs
Crawford's proximity to Oglethorpe County's agricultural corridor and Madison County's industrial parks creates demand for equipment financing and working capital. Seasonal revenue swings hit agribusinesses hard between planting and harvest. Invoice factoring helps contractors waiting on county or state payment cycles. SBA 7(a) loans suit owner-occupied real estate purchases for workshops or warehouses along the Highway 22 corridor. Hazelcrest Group evaluates which program maximizes your approval odds based on your business model and local market conditions.
We start with a brief conversation at our Bogart office, a fifteen-minute drive east on Highway 72. You describe your funding need, revenue pattern, and credit situation. We identify two or three loan structures that fit, then submit your package to lenders who underwrite businesses like yours. We handle documentation, follow up on underwriting questions, and negotiate terms. Our role as a broker means we work for you, not the lender.
