Small business
Small business loans provide lump-sum or revolving capital to companies that need funding for growth, operations, or asset purchases. The borrower repays the principal plus interest over an agreed term. Programs vary widely: SBA 7(a) loans carry government backing and longer terms, equipment financing ties collateral to the asset purchased, and working capital loans cover short-term cash gaps. Each serves a different need, and a broker helps you pick the right fit without wasting time on applications that don't match your balance sheet or business model.
Small business
Most lenders want at least two years in business, a credit score above 650, positive cash flow, and collateral or a personal guarantee. Hollywood companies in retail along Young Circle, restaurants near the ArtsPark, medical practices in the Diplomat corridor, or contractors serving Hallandale Beach and Pembroke Park all qualify if the numbers work. Startups often need SBA microloans or alternative working capital products. Seasonal businesses, beach vendors, tourism operators, can show twelve months of bank statements to prove revenue cycles. Your broker reviews your financials before you apply, so you skip programs that will decline you and focus on lenders already funding businesses like yours.
Small business
Hollywood businesses use capital to renovate storefronts along Harrison Street, buy delivery vans for service routes through Aventura and Davie, stock inventory before the winter tourist season, hire staff for new locations in Cooper City or Plantation, and refinance expensive merchant cash advances. A family-owned bakery might finance ovens and display cases, while a landscaping company funds mowers and a crew truck. Real estate investors buy mixed-use buildings downtown, and medical offices lease diagnostic equipment. Every dollar should generate revenue or cut costs; borrowing for overhead alone burns cash without a return.
How it works
Call (954) 250-9748 or visit 2500 Hollywood Blvd, Hollywood, FL 33020 with your last two years of tax returns, interim profit-and-loss statement, current balance sheet, and a one-page summary of how you'll use the funds. We review your situation, suggest two or three programs, and submit applications to lenders who already work in South Florida. You answer questions once instead of filling out ten separate forms. Underwriting takes days to weeks depending on loan size and collateral. We stay in touch through closing, so you know exactly where the process stands.
A surf-and-swimwear shop operating two blocks west of the Broadwalk wanted to open a second location in the new development at 20th Avenue. The owner had strong summer sales but needed $150,000 for leasehold improvements, fixtures, and opening inventory. Croftbrook matched her with an SBA 7(a) loan that covered the build-out and gave her a ten-year term to smooth monthly payments. She opened in October, captured the winter-visitor season, and now runs both stores year-round. The relationship with her lender continues; when she needs a business line of credit for seasonal inventory swings, the bank already knows her track record.
Why us
Banks say no without explaining why. A broker tells you what's missing and where else to look.
