Commercial Loan Broker in Hollywood, FL

What you need to know: Croftbrook Capital is a licensed commercial loan broker serving Hollywood, FL and surrounding areas.

What a Commercial Loan Broker Does

A commercial loan broker acts as your intermediary with lenders. We don't lend money ourselves. Instead, we evaluate your business, match you with lenders whose programs fit your situation, and shepherd your application from submission to funding. You get access to dozens of lenders through one conversation. We earn a fee from the lender at closing, so our service typically costs you nothing upfront.

Hollywood's mix of hospitality businesses along the Broadwalk, medical offices near Memorial Regional, and light industrial operations in the Pembroke Road corridor means financing needs vary widely. A commercial loan broker in Hollywood understands that a beachfront restaurant needs different terms than a logistics warehouse near Port Everglades.

Who Qualifies for Brokered Commercial Loans

Most programs require at least one year in business and revenue sufficient to service debt. Lenders review credit history, cash flow, collateral, and industry risk. Startups can qualify for certain SBA programs if the owner brings equity and experience. Businesses with past credit issues aren't automatically disqualified; we know which lenders specialize in second-look scenarios.

Your Hollywood location matters. Properties along Federal Highway or near the Hard Rock command different appraisal values than inland parcels. A commercial mortgage broker near me who knows Broward County appraisal norms saves you time and surprises.

Typical Uses for Brokered Commercial Financing

Purchasing commercial real estate: Warehouses in Dania Beach, retail storefronts on Hollywood Boulevard, or medical suites in Aventura. Commercial real estate loans through our network cover acquisition and renovation.

Equipment financing: Restaurant kitchens, dental chairs, HVAC trucks, printing presses. Equipment financing keeps cash free for operations.

Working capital: Payroll gaps, inventory buys, seasonal swings. Working capital loans bridge the timing mismatch between expenses and receivables.

Invoice factoring: Contractors and staffing agencies waiting 60 days on invoices can factor receivables for immediate cash.

How it works

How to Apply Through Croftbrook Capital

Call (954) 250-9748 or visit us at 2500 Hollywood Blvd, Hollywood, FL 33020. Bring recent bank statements, tax returns, and a brief explanation of what you need and why. We'll ask about revenue, existing debt, and collateral. Within a day or two, we present lender options with term sheets. You pick the offer that makes sense. We coordinate underwriting, appraisals, title work, and closing.

No email back-and-forth. We handle this by phone and in person because commercial finance moves faster when questions get answered in real time.

A Hollywood Scenario

A family-owned auto-body shop on Pembroke Road wanted to buy the building they'd leased for a decade. The landlord offered a sale price the owner could afford with an SBA 7(a) loan, but the business had switched banks twice and didn't know where to start. We matched them with an SBA-preferred lender, coordinated the environmental Phase I required for industrial property, and closed in 60 days. The owner now controls his location and builds equity instead of paying rent.

Why Use a Commercial Mortgage Broker

Lenders specialize. One funds hospitality, another prefers medical, a third loves logistics. A mortgage broker for commercial property knows who likes what and which underwriters move fast. You avoid rejection letters that ding your credit and waste weeks. We also translate lender requirements into plain English so you know exactly what to provide and when.

Broward businesses operate on tight schedules. A commercial business loan broker saves you the hours you'd spend calling banks, filling redundant applications, and deciphering conflicting advice.

Common questions

Common questions about business loans in Hollywood

What does a commercial loan broker charge?+
We're paid by the lender at closing, usually a percentage of the funded amount. Most clients pay nothing out of pocket. If a program requires an upfront fee, we disclose it in writing before you commit.
How long does the commercial loan process take?+
Timeline depends on loan type and documentation readiness. Working capital can fund in days. SBA and commercial real estate loans typically take 30 to 90 days. We keep you updated at every milestone.
Can a commercial finance broker help if I've been denied before?+
Yes. Denial often stems from applying to the wrong lender or submitting incomplete packages. We review why you were declined, strengthen your application, and approach lenders who accept your risk profile.
Do I need to be in Hollywood to work with you?+
No. We serve Hollywood, Hallandale Beach, Dania Beach, Aventura, Pembroke Park, West Park, Davie, Cooper City, and Plantation. If your business operates in South Broward, we can help.
What are commercial loan broker requirements for my business?+
Typically one year in business, positive cash flow, and reasonable credit. Requirements vary by program. Startups may qualify for SBA microloans or owner-backed lines if they meet specific criteria.
Is Croftbrook Capital a lender or a broker?+
We are a licensed commercial loan broker. We do not lend our own capital. We connect you with lenders, negotiate terms, and manage your application through closing.
What documents do I need to start?+
Three months of business bank statements, two years of business tax returns, a current balance sheet and profit-and-loss statement, and a driver's license. We'll request additional items based on the loan type.
Can a commercial mortgage loan broker secure better rates than going direct?+
Brokers see wholesale rate sheets and volume discounts not available to individual borrowers. We also know which lenders compete aggressively for certain deal types, creating leverage you wouldn't have alone.
