Learn moreHollywood sits at the crossroads of Broward County's commercial corridors. The Broadwalk draws hospitality operators. The industrial parks west of I-95 house distributors and light manufacturing. Downtown Hollywood's Young Circle district supports retail and professional services. Each sector faces different cash-flow cycles, collateral questions, and growth timelines.
A broker knows which lenders fund hospitality renovations near Johnson Street, which ones will finance inventory for a Pembroke Road wholesaler, and which programs suit a multi-tenant building on Federal Highway. We submit your file to the right desk the first time instead of you filling out ten applications and hearing "no" because you picked the wrong box.
Croftbrook Capital is licensed and based at 2500 Hollywood Blvd, Hollywood, FL 33020. Call us at (954) 250-9748. We also serve Hallandale Beach, Dania Beach, Aventura, Pembroke Park, West Park, Davie, Cooper City, and Plantation.
SBA loans
SBA 7(a) loans blend long repayment terms with lower down-payment requirements, backed by a federal guarantee that makes lenders more comfortable. You can use proceeds for acquisition, renovation, refinancing, or working capital. The Small Business Administration sets eligibility rules; lenders price and underwrite; brokers package your file so it meets both sets of standards before submission.
Hollywood businesses use 7(a) loans to buy existing restaurants along Harrison Street, expand medical offices near Memorial Regional, or consolidate high-rate debt. Expect a multi-week process: financial statements, tax returns, business plan, personal credit review, collateral appraisal. We guide every step.
Working capital
Working capital loans cover payroll gaps, inventory buys, seasonal dips, or unexpected repairs when revenue lags thirty days behind expenses. These are shorter-term advances, typically six to eighteen months, priced on speed and risk rather than real estate collateral.
Approval hinges on bank statements, receivables aging, and cash flow rather than a three-year track record. Hollywood retailers restocking before Art & Culture Center events, contractors waiting on municipal payments, and hospitality operators bridging summer-to-winter occupancy all use working capital.
Equipment financing
Equipment financing lets you spread the cost of machinery, vehicles, kitchen buildouts, or technology over the asset's useful life. The equipment itself serves as collateral, so lenders often approve deals faster than unsecured lines.
A Hollywood HVAC contractor buying service vans, a bakery installing ovens near Radius, or a dental practice upgrading imaging equipment can all finance 80-100 percent of the invoice. Payments align with depreciation, preserving cash for marketing and payroll.
Real estate
Commercial real estate loans fund the purchase or renovation of owner-occupied or investment properties: office condos, retail plazas, mixed-use buildings, warehouses. Terms stretch ten to twenty-five years; lenders require appraisals, environmental reports, and rent rolls if tenants occupy the space.
Hollywood's downtown core, the corridor along Stirling Road, and the warehouse districts west of State Road 7 all see steady CRE activity. Brokers help you match loan structure to your occupancy plan and exit strategy.
A business line of credit works like a credit card for your company: you draw what you need up to a limit, pay interest only on the outstanding balance, and repay to free the line again. Banks reserve lines for established businesses with clean financials and predictable revenue.
Hollywood service companies use lines to cover payroll between invoices, buy materials for project-based work, or smooth uneven cash flow. Revolving access beats applying for a new loan every quarter.
Invoice factoring
Invoice factoring converts outstanding invoices into immediate cash. You sell receivables to a factoring company at a discount; they collect from your customer. No debt appears on your balance sheet because it's a sale, not a loan.
Hollywood distributors, staffing agencies, and B2B service providers waiting sixty or ninety days for payment use factoring to meet payroll and restock inventory without waiting. It's faster than a bank loan and doesn't require perfect credit.
Loan programs
Beyond the six core products, lenders offer merchant cash advances, revenue-based financing, franchise loans, and bridge loans. Each solves a specific timing or collateral problem. We evaluate your situation and recommend the program that fits your cash flow, timeline, and growth plan.

Match the loan to the use. Buying a building? Commercial real estate. Covering payroll? Working capital or a line of credit. Financing a food truck? Equipment loan. Waiting on invoices? Factoring.
Interest cost matters less than structure. A shorter working-capital loan may carry a higher rate but no prepayment penalty and no collateral lien. A seven-year equipment note costs less per month but ties up the asset. We walk through trade-offs with you before you sign.
Hollywood's mix of tourism, healthcare, logistics, and professional services means no single program dominates. Your neighbor might need SBA; you might need factoring. We broker both.
