You may have business collateral and not even realize it…
When looking for a source of capital, there are several factors your lender may take into consideration. For instance, traditional lenders will first look at your company’s credit history, balance sheet strength, and years in business when underwriting a loan. This way of thinking leads to many businesses being turned down and not receiving the funding they need.
SouthStar Capital takes a non-traditional approach and uses your business’s assets, or collateral, to make our funding decision. In-turn we are able advance your business capital by using your collateral as leverage. You may ask “Is accounts receivable an asset?”. Yes, it is!
