The Commercial Finance Group is a private, family-owned company—that’s why we’re so appreciative and supportive of small, family-owned businesses across the country. Small businesses are the backbone of America, whether it’s economically, socially, or culturally—they provide useful goods and services and bring their communities together. They’re also a symbol of the American dream—after all, there’s nothing more American than someone building a business from the ground up and finding success in our great nation.

But success doesn’t come without a little help. That’s where we come in. The Commercial Finance Group is proud to offer asset-based financing and factoring services in Los Angeles and Burbank to help small business get on their feet and grow in a way that leads to long-term, sustainable success. That’s how we made it—and you can make it, too.

You might ask: what is our approach to lending? We’ll answer that question here, showing you the four pillars that make up our lending philosophy.

Understand The Story

Before we even talk about financing options or strategies for your success, we have to your story—as a person, as a team of businesspeople, and as a business. We want to know where you’ve been, where you’re going, and where you want to be when it’s all said and done. Don’t worry, we want to know the specifics, too—the products, services, and financial strategies that are going to take your business to the next level.

These strategies—these hopes and dreams and passions that will lead you to business success—are building the “bridge to bankability.” With our help, we can build the bridge to bankability together.

Need vs. Want

What do you need to succeed? As a growing business, there are certain things that fall into the containers of “wants” and “needs”—for example, you might want brand new windows for your store or a stunning, well-crafted sign to hang above the front door. Needs are different—you might need to increase your cash flow because you are turning away customers out of lack of supply and need a larger inventory to grow.

Commercial Finance Group is here for the things you need—we’re not going to sell you a financial solution that doesn’t fit the demands of your business. This is why our financial solutions are easy to manage and allow your business to grow in a healthy manner.

Look to The Horizon

Every business has its struggles, especially early on. Whether it’s an issue of supply and demand, market penetration, public support and awareness, or plain-old financial hardship, newer companies will almost certainly deal with growing pains before they achieve success in any form. We also understand that businesses grow and evolve over time—they find success, make mistakes, and hopefully, they don’t make those same mistakes a second time.

The key to business success is to learn from the past—not to dwell on it. That’s why The Commercial Finance Group doesn’t get too caught up with the historical performance of your business. We’re more focused on the horizon—your vision and plan for what’s ahead. There’s a very good chance that your business needs a small business loan because you’ve had trouble getting started in the past, or know that you don’t have what you need to secure your business success—and that’s why we’re here to help you. As long as you have a solid plan, the passion, and the vision for future success, we’re happy to help.

Know How We Fit

With over 250 years of combined financing experience, the team at Commercial Finance Group knows a thing or two about financing strategies, capital markets, and the small business world. Just like you understand the role of your business in the competitive business landscape, we understand ours. We’re a source of “transitory” working capital—funds that help you move your business forward and grow sustainably over time. We’re not here as a lifeboat or last-stitch effort—we’re here to help you put your business vision into motion. You’re in the driver’s seat when it comes to your business—we’re just here to put fuel in the tank to push you forward to your final destination.
