"I honestly didn't know where to start when I needed financing to grow my business. A friend referred me to Five West and I'm glad he did. My Rep was straight with me about my options, didn't waste my time, and got the deal done. The whole process was smoother than I expected. Will definitely be coming back."

FAQ

Questions, answered.

How soon will I hear back?

We can usually respond to any inquiry within one business hour, and approvals can come as fast as 30 minutes for working capital or equipment finance. Your exact turnaround depends on your overall credit profile and the type of funding you are after.

What is your funding minimum?

Our usual minimum is $20,000, though we can make exceptions depending on the deal.

Can I apply for multiple things at once?

Absolutely. You can pursue several types of funding at the same time, and it helps to have one point of contact orchestrating them so they do not interfere with one another.

Can you work with challenged credit?

Yes. We work across the full range of credit, from strong A credit through second chance. Several of our funding partners specialize in challenged credit, and adding a co-signer or collateral can strengthen your file.

Should I include a co-signer?

A co-signer almost always strengthens an application, and we recommend one if you believe your credit is challenged. You can also use an existing business as a corporate co-guarantor if that is available.

Do you offer 0% financing?

We do offer 0% equipment financing, though those promotions are usually limited to select dealer and manufacturer partners across a variety of industries.

Do you offer personal loans?

Yes, we offer a variety of income-based loans through some of our funding partners.
