Consulting packages

🚀

Business Start Package Florida

Starting from zero? We handle the filings for your new Florida company: we submit your LLC registration with the information you provide, obtain your EIN as your authorized designee, guide you through opening a business bank account, and register your company with Dun & Bradstreet. You make every decision about your business — we do the paperwork. We are not a law firm and do not provide legal advice.

🏆

Credit-Ready Package

Already have an LLC? We build your company's credit step by step: D&B and PAYDEX strategy, business tradelines, financial organization — preparing your business to qualify for financing on better terms. Business credit only, never personal scores. Consulting does not guarantee credit approval, and our loans are never conditioned on purchasing consulting.

Frequently asked questions

Who can apply?

Registered businesses — LLCs and corporations with real operations (EIN, business bank account). The loan must be used for your business: working capital, equipment, inventory, growth. We do not make personal loans.

How fast do I get an answer?

Usually within 1–2 business days after we talk. We are a private commercial lender — you speak directly with the decision-maker, not a call center.

Are you a broker?

No. We are a direct lender — we lend our own capital and make our own credit decisions. Your application stays with us: it is never sold, shared or passed to third parties.

What do I need to apply?

Just the form below to start. If we move forward, we'll ask for basics: ID, proof of business (LLC documents) and bank statements.

What are the rates and terms?

Every business is different, so terms are personalized — always within applicable legal limits. We'll give you the full picture clearly, in writing, before you sign anything.

Do you speak my language?

Yes — English, Portuguese and Spanish. Contracts and conversation in the language you prefer.

Do you make personal loans?

Our focus is business-purpose credit. Contact us to talk about your specific situation.

How do you decide?

We look at three neutral factors: your business revenue, time in business, and capacity to repay. That's it — same criteria for everyone, evaluated case by case by a real person.

Apply for Business Credit

2 minutes. No commitment. We'll contact you within 1–2 business days.

Business-purpose credit only. Submitting this form does not guarantee approval and does not affect your credit score.
