Qualifications

You don’t want to trust just anyone with your business finances! This is why it is essential to research your lending company’s qualifications.

A reputable lending firm generally holds numerous accreditations and memberships, such as accreditation from the BBB (Better Business Bureau), and memberships from professional organizations in the lending industry. Many qualified lending services hold additional local and state accreditations as well.

You can also contact the company or check their website to verify their staff’s licensing and accreditation. It’s essential that a business lending company has licensed professionals who are qualified to operate in all the states where they offer services.

For example, Solvent Funding LLC is a great example of a qualified lending firm. They are fully accredited and are active members of various professional organizations. Additionally, all of their staff members are certified professionals who work directly with clients to secure the best financing solutions.

Pricing

Because every business’s financial situation is different, the cost for lending services is going to vary depending on the company hired and the complexity of services needed. Most lending companies have varying fee structures, interest rates, and repayment terms. Reputable lending firms will provide an initial free consultation and will not charge excessive fees upfront.

Also, look for competitive rates and transparent pricing. This is another sign of a reputable firm, as it shows confidence and faith in their ability to provide their clients with excellent service.

For example, Solvent Funding LLC offers competitive interest rates starting at a low percentage and provides a clear breakdown of all costs involved.

Reputable Practices

Recently, there has been a surge in the number of scam artists entering the lending industry, known for their unethical practices and broken promises.

Be wary of any company that guarantees loan approval without assessing your business’s financials or asks for significant money upfront without a thorough evaluation of your case. Only reputable services will conduct a full assessment of your financial situation before advising you on the best options for you.

Also, steer clear of any company that promises to approve any application, no matter what. Every business loan application is different, and some may not qualify. A reputable company will take the time to look into their client’s specific situation before advising whether or not they can actually help them. Lastly, be on the lookout for companies that do not offer transparent terms or a clear refund policy. Any reputable service that cares about helping their clients, rather than just making money, will have some sort of refund policy or money-back clause in their agreement.

Customer Service

Spend some time reading verified customer reviews and researching company ratings on sites like bizlenderreviews.com, BBB.org, or Trustpilot.com. This is a great way to build an unbiased opinion on a company’s ability to provide the level of service you expect.

You may also want to call the company directly and ask them any questions or concerns you might have. Their answers and level of assistance can help you gauge just how reliable their support staff is and the kind of customer service you can expect to receive from them.
