A business loan broker acts as your matchmaker between capital need and capital source. Croftbrook Capital reviews your financials, listens to your plan, then presents your case to multiple lenders. We handle the paperwork, translate underwriting questions, and negotiate on your behalf. You pay nothing upfront. Our fee comes from the lender at closing, so our incentive aligns with yours: close the best deal possible.
Hollywood sits between Port Everglades and the Seminole Hard Rock, home to family-owned restaurants on Harrison Street, auto-body shops near the Tri-Rail station, and medical offices along Sheridan. Each sector needs different funding structures. A small business loan broker who knows Hollywood's mix saves you weeks of trial and error.
Most commercial loan programs require six months in business, a credit score above 600, and revenue that covers existing obligations plus the new payment. Startups lean on SBA microloans or equipment financing with larger down payments. Established firms tap SBA 7(a) loans, commercial real estate financing, or business lines of credit.
Typical uses include buying inventory before the winter-tourist surge, retrofitting a storefront on Hollywood Boulevard, acquiring a competitor, or bridging payroll when a big invoice sits in net-60 limbo. Invoice factoring and working capital lines solve short-term gaps. Equipment financing covers ovens, CNC machines, delivery vans, or dental chairs without draining cash reserves.
How it works
Call (954) 250-9748 or visit us at 2500 Hollywood Blvd, Hollywood, FL 33020. Bring two years of business tax returns, a year-to-date profit-and-loss, and a current balance sheet. We'll ask what you need the money for and how you plan to repay it. Plain questions, honest answers.
Within 48 hours we outline which programs match your profile. We submit to lenders simultaneously, compare term sheets side by side, and walk you through every line. Closing takes one week for a working capital advance, four to eight weeks for equipment financing, and sixty to ninety days for an SBA loan.
A catering company near Young Circle needed a walk-in cooler and three delivery vans before Art Walk season. Banks wanted cross-collateralization on the owner's condo. We brokered an equipment-only note that kept her home separate and closed in eleven days.
Banks see one product line. A business lending broker sees twenty. Croftbrook Capital works with regional banks that understand Broward County cash-flow cycles, SBA Preferred Lenders who fast-track 7(a) approvals, and alternative funders who look past a single bad quarter. If you've been turned down once, we find the lender who says yes.
We also serve Hallandale Beach, Dania Beach, Aventura, Pembroke Park, West Park, Davie, Cooper City, and Plantation. Drive time from anywhere in South Broward is under twenty minutes. For a full city-by-city breakdown, visit our Hollywood, FL commercial lending hub.
Relationship beats transaction every time. You're not a FICO score; you're the person who signs the front of the check, employs neighbors, and keeps a storefront lit. We broker loans the same way.
