These people determine funding of tax reports from previous years of your business. The idea of expanding is to acquire funding in order to have more profit than the prior years. As the old saying states, (it takes money to make money).
I would avoid these people. They can get you the low hanging fruit (credit cards) which you can probably do yourself if youre diligent. But as far as getting the loan you really need they will try to get you that next after the easy stuff to get your loan AND their fees higher. Id stay clear, they got me a credit card that wouldnt help with my mortgage. My mistake, I could have done that myself.
I had a great experience with Finance Factory, and in particular with my account manager Jean V. She has been super professional, and responsive through out the process of getting me the loan I needed for my start up. The amount Jean and her team were able to get was even more than I initially expected, which was a great surprise. I will add that even in middle of the process Jean heard me out, made tweaks to the loan, showing flexibility on their end and more importantly high level of customer service. I recommend Finance Factory to others who are trying to startup a business and are in need of a loan, they got the job done for me and the process was smooth. A well deserved thank you to Jean and her team, 5 stars all the way.
I found Finance Factory through Lending Tree, when the app crashed. I was frustrated because I thought Id have to do the forms again. Finance Factory actually reached out to me by phone, and introduced themselves. The first person I connected with was Sam, and he was friendly and knowledgable. More importantly, he was aware of what he didnt know, as well, and in the end, every stage with him transpired in exactly the process he stated it would. It was easy onboarding. In moving to a second stage, I worked with Cole. Cole literally listened to me ramble for hours about my ideas and I genuinely believed he enjoyed every minute of it. Beyond that, he got me great rates, he pinged my credit the exact amount of times he said he would to get the job done, no more. At the time of writing this review, I have received the funding I needed. Interestingly enough, the banks Im approved with also sent me letters declining the loan initially. I have decent credit, not impeccable credit, and these were unsecured loans, so for those familiar, that means the folks at Finance Factory worked some magic, and without that, it wasnt happening. This is something I know, not something they stated. In the world of finance, to work magic with grace, and quiet precision, without even taking credit for it, is remarkable. And, the whole thing was done 100% remotely, with minimal action required on my end. I admit, I was a little hesitant at first due to the consultancy fee, but looking back, Im more than confident I saved in time and convenience whatever it cost me to pay their fees. Id do it again. More important, my credit report barely even felt it, and Id imagine they did a good bit of shopping around. They also had an alternative lender they discouraged me from using, despite it likely being in their best interest to close it, which shows honesty. Highly recommended, maybe not for penny pinchers, but definitely for folk who dont mind paying a little more for quality and convenience. Thanks again, all!
I cannot say enough great things about Finance Factory. I worked with Sam, Jared & Jeremy and they were an absolute pleasure to work with. I mainly worked with Jared and he was amazing. If I could give him more than 5 stars, I would. He was extremely responsive, professional and always available when I needed him. He always helped calm my nerves through the funding process. The entire process from initial application to receiving my funds was so quick and seamless. He helped me when no one else could. I cannot thank him enough and I would recommend him for anyone looking for funding. He has made my dream of opening my business a reality.
Although I didnt secure the funding, they were very professional.I worked with Sean S. and he was very knowledgeable, helpful, inviting and friendly. I really enjoyed working with him. I would recommend this company as they do provide exceptional guidance and do their best to take care of you.
The entire team was diligent throughout this process.
As far as I am concerned they did nothing that I hadnt already tried to do on my own for financing except a few places they deal with. I also reduced my request and did not even receive a response on if they could help me or not therefore I lost out on the business I was trying to buy. If I had at least received a call back informing me that they could not help me, I would have given a bit better rating.
The Finance Factory did an outstanding job helping secure four separate loans to start our business. Financial Adviser Jean V. was very responsive to our needs, and helped us ever step of the way! FINAO Education could not have secured financing it without her! Thanks, Jean! We will definitely come back to you again if the need arises!
I highly recommend the Finance Factory. They were very professional from the initial and introductory call until the end, on time, on schedule, and as promised. There procedure was as planned and as we agreed upon. They answered all my questions with the up-most level of knowledge and understanding from the beginning, throughout, and toward the end of the process. Again, I highly recommend the Finance Factory
Had a wonderful experience with Alex C. He was thorough and responsive and secured all the funding we needed for our small business with remarkable speed. I would strongly recommend him and Finance Factory to anyone I know.
I had the opportunity to work with Ted Kennedy and Finace Factory and I highly recommend him. His customer seriivice is absolutely top notch and he was extremely knowledgeable about the products out there for financial assistance. Thank you Ted for an excellent experience!
Finance Factory was really helpful and knowledgeable with this entire process. Sam,Diana and Jeremy (in underwriting) each worked with me at different times explaining how each step of the process would work and were very good with responses and follow up. I was able to get the best lines of credit and in addition, establish them under my new businesss credit. They were patient and did all the leg work and the things I didnt have time to do. I now have available credit at my disposal to build my business and both cards beginning with an introductory 0%APR. Yes, Ill take it!
Sean Sorel was great to work with--he helped identify our needs for our business, and worked with us to develop a package that really made sense for us!
Awesome work again for the second time. Even during a crisis you helped us through it. Have been telling all my friends and colleagues about you guys!Keep it up we will be back again.
WOW!!!! I could not have asked for a more positive experience! I got all the help I needed to navigate the borrowing process and felt like I had a professional on my side the entire time. From the first person I talked to, to Alex who handled my case they were available whenever I had a question and were so professional but really wanted to help. I would recommend Finance Factory again without question!
Finance factory did an awesome job for us. All their staff was friendly and helpful. They were very efficient and timely in all aspects. They were able to help me secure all the money we needed. I would definitely recommend them and use them again.
They are scammers💣💣💣💣💣 you have already refused me for no reason, I have sent you enough documents for approval. I think you need to apologize
Finance Factory provided very quick and professional services to help me acquire business credit cards. They were always respectful and responsive.
I recently had an opportunity to work with the Finance Factory. I found this to be a very pleasant and informative experience. Whitney and Paul werevery helpful and professional. I would recommend the Finance Factory toevery one. Jack Estep.
The service was fast and the result was twice as good as they expected. I got almost $100,00 in company credit cards. Perfect!
These guys are Awesome. The entire experience was amazing. They got us more funding than we expected. They dealt with all the banks and we didnt have to do much. My wife and I would definitely use finance factory again. Special Thanks to Diana for all your hard work and answering all our questions.
Highly recommend Finance Factory! Luciano F. is the epitome of professionalism and customer service. I can’t recommend this company enough!
Would give 0 stars if I could. Let my loss be your gain! They can get you funding, but you can save yourself the money and do it yourself. They will miss lead and misguide you the entire time and they will still make you do all the leg work of applying to lenders. Not to mention they suggest lying to lenders in order to secure financing. Reach out to me for any assistance and details before moving forward with Finance Factory.
Highly recommend Mark and Diana! They didnt ask for this review - I offered to give a review as I am so thankful and my business is financially sound because of them.The idea of starting a new business is exciting and easy! Obtaining the funding you need without investing your personal money is not exciting or easy whatsoever. I was referred to the Finance Factory, came into contact with Mark, and realized quickly this would be a great relationship. The counsel and coaching I received from business structure, naming the LLC, discussing business goals to realistically setting funding goals, creating new sales forecasting outlooks, and just rewriting our business plan was enlightening.Keep in mind - I have been a VP of Operations for a major company for over 20 years before venturing out on my own. You think you know what to do, what to expect, and how to get funding. Even the most experienced people, need an expert, coach, and counselor in funding your business without extending your personal assets. You have heard the phrase: Going all in ie. Exhausting your personal assets. Why do that if you dont have to?If you are a new business or existing business, please reach out to them and just see what the options are. Allow them to review your information, write a compelling story for your business, and present your business to over 20 different financial institutions (in my case that was the number - yours could be more or less).They saved me hours of work, phone calls, and paperwork which I was able to reapply to building my business compared to financing my business. 30 days from our first call - I have funding, I have grown my business 110% and frankly, I sleep better at night.Mark and Diana are great people - strong ethical compasses, truthful, reliable and provide timely updates on the status of your funding. If you can listen, accept coaching and understand paying a reasonable fee for this service, then this is the company to talk to. We dont work for free - so why should they? Their fees are the most reasonable and affordable compared to any other company out there. Believe me - I talked to a lot of different companies before selecting them.Question: How much time are you spending worried about the financial status of your business? What if you could apply that time to building your client base to produce more income? My answer: I was spending a lot more time worried about money than I was actually building my business.Spend 10 minutes (yes that is all the time it took on the initial call) to hear them out, understand the process, and get the funding you need.
Great funding solutions. A person that bought a business from me got funded by this company. A great alternative to sba loans.
I was concerned with my relative start up appearance (on paper) of my business that I couldnt qualify for the capital I needed to smooth out cash flow and kick start my hiring needs. Not only was I funded because of the help of Finance Factory, but I was able to qualify and secure an amount twice what I was originally seeking. Thank you Matt and Ed for all your help and guidance. Im now able to hire four much needed employees to help sustain this new growth.
Finance Factory is a great resource for creative and unsecured financing with either business or personal loans. I send all my clients to Sam because he can offer many different loan programs depending on their needs.
I had the pleasure of working with the Finance Factory and would recommend them to everyone. I originally contacted them a few months ago to see what their process was like and to compare them to other companies. I ended up speaking with the owner of the company and got great information from him. He followed up with me throughout the months as he said he would, and at the beginning of December they helped me secure more funding than I thought I was approved for. Every team member I had contact with was a pleasure to work with. Finance Factory is without a doubt a 5 Star company.
Extremely knowledgeable, professional, and helpful from start to finish. They provided a personalized experience throughout the process and my Senior funding specialist Mark was extremely helpful, answering all of my questions as they arose. They delivered the exact results promised during our first call in a timely manner. Highly recommend.
I was hesitant at first. Had tried different avenues and was unsuccessful. Ran into scams or above my budget for money up front. Finance Factory found me a loan within a couple of days!! I am stunned how fast I received a check!! You have know idea how much this is going to help me start my own business!! Awesome team!
I applied for a small business loan and was approved for a bit more than what I was looking for. I mostly worked with Sean but had a few other representatives helping as well. Great communication they called often to update me on different options that where coming in and took the time to help me understand the terms of the different options. I definitely recommend them and I myself will probably use them again in the future as needed.
Highly recommend, they were able to help me raise 50,000 for my small business
Mark Ledford was such a pleasure to meet for his great services. Mark is over and above in what he offers in getting personal loan Financing. Mark is truthful and up front and does not give you the run around. I know Mark works hard at what he does. Excellent company to go to for your personal needs in Financing business. All The Best, Thank You!!!MZ
I would recommend Finance Factory for any funding that your company might need. Esli Avery one of the processors was great to work with, she always kept me updated on the process whether is was by phone or e-mail. Great customer service! The company as a whole delivered what they promised, and I would use them again.
These folks are awesome! I told them about my needs and concerns and they dilengently assisted me to get the funds I needed to take care of some major issues! Guys are great! Thanks!Gregory S Carr
This company is very easy to work with and they are not “pushy” like others in the same field.
Great experience, high level of professionalism and is exactly what is expected from a top notch firm!
They tried to charge me over $4,000 to help me apply to get bunch of credit cards. I declined after reading the fine print in the docusign I was sent. They tried to make it seem like they were lending me the money they but just want to make money off of me applying for a bunch credit cards with high rates
Finance Factory came through for me and my company in a very timely manner. We worked closely with Sean Sorel our account manager and they delivered on their promise. I honestly would not be in business if it was not for their assistance.
I was told right off in the beginning that this company was not like a bank. But in reality they are. They couldnt help me out and Barbara lied through her teeth when she said finance factory will be able to help me out. All of it was a lie. They dont help. They just dinged my credit more by looking at my credit score. Trying to find a loan is never going to happen through this company. Do not try it!!!
I was extremely impressed with the Finance Factory!!Everything was handled for me and they guided me through every step. All I did was just wait for my funding which took no time at all.The funding I received was for a start up business. The funding goal was met. I recommend using this company for entrapenuers that need a start!!Thank youAurelia Byrne
Awesome business!
I still have question whether Finance factory is legit or not. After I consult with them the invoice they billed me appeared Atlantic Capital.Based on my experience, I feel like I was screwed up by them charging service fee of 9.9%. It was after hurricane Harvey hits our business so bad that I start looking for loan. I came across their web & start working with them not knowing I will be dragged more in debt. I was looking for business loan but end up getting personal loan per finance factory advise. Please do your research & ask nearby banks/credit unions about their offer before getting finance factory. In my case Finance Factory asked me to go to bank & apply for loan. After I get the loan they ask me to pay service charge. Ohwaa! It wasnt explained to me very well. With my credit score above 720, it was a huge mistake to ask their help!
I was completely turned off by this company. All they did was lie and tell me that I was approved, when it was only a pre approval which means nothing. I was told that all they will do is refer me to other banks or credit card companies I no longer was interested in moving forward. Company will charge outrages fees to be a middle party in securing a loan from a bank. Company has no relationship with banks but lied banks are not aware finance factory is involved. They wanted me to not tell the bank Finance factory was going to help me apply. This is a shady company
Great people! Very helpful in expediting business lines of credit! I highly recommend them!
My team used financed factory and everyone was awesome from start to finish! All team members are great, always upfront, and still extremely accommodating!
I did not have the best experience to start with regarding Finance Factory. We had a few minor hiccups that left me frustrated. Let me tell you, this company sure knows how to listen to its clients and genuinely cares about our experience! The President of the company, Ed, personally reached out to me to ask how things could be resolved and if I had feedback on how the process could have been better. I got off the phone with Ed and have completely changed my mind about this company. He was very knowledgeable in the lending department and had lots of great information to share with me. If you are looking for assistance with finding the best loan suited for you, then I would recommend Finance Factory.
Finance Factory (Sam and a few others) are helpful, prompt, kind and get the job done!
Finance Factory was a tremendous help on getting our business up and running. They were with us every step of the way and if I had any questions I had immediate contact with all of their helpful staff.
All this company does is apply for personal loans on bank websites. Any consumer can do that. Save yourself the unnecessary fees.
Great service.I highly recommend.Thanks guys!
Finance Factory helped me get the loans I needed.I recommend them if you need help getting a loan.Thankyou Ed.
Awful service! Barbara Fennell could not wait to get off the phone with me. It seems like she did not want business. I will not recommend! Look else where!
Terrible experience with this company. Their service I could have done on my own. They will send your personal info over to many different banks and some banks will decline. Wanted to charge me 10% of my loan for them to help us. What a rip off! They ‘prequalifed’ me for an amount they did not end up getting me that amount. They pulled my credit without getting my permission, they are scam artist middle men. They use banks on LendingTree, lending club, sofi and they will charge thousands of dollars for referring you to other banks a complete rip off! Save your money apply to banks directly
Did a great job communicating and getting me everything I needed.
Goog owner Ed he so help full on me.Sam
This company is misleading customers. What a terrible experience. Could not give me any idea of what rates would be. Very vague on details of how long it takes to actually receive the loan proceeds. I was also told any loan amount would be stringed together in 4-5 separate loans. Did not realize they would just shop my credit file to other banks. Would never use or recommend.
Nice sales agents!!
Thanks for good work
Not any help
The lady that I worked with was rude
