South End Capital Corporation (SECC), the innovative, non-conforming real estate and business lender, has announced its readiness to deploy affordable capital to business owners and real estate investors shut out by the government.

Last year over 1,400 referral partners signed on and helped us achieve many significant milestones, including over 270 closed loans and more than $230 million funded. This year we are making a commitment to our referral partner community to improve the experience and offer better incentives. As of today, we will be eliminating our broker program and focusing exclusively on developing our referral partner channel.

We are pleased to announce the recent funding of a $900,000 Multifamily Blanket loan. We paid off back taxes and funded over $102,000 of unrestricted cash-out at closing. Our new mortgage was secured by two contiguous 8-unit multifamily properties in Long Beach, CA. This was a low doc. loan with a 5 year fixed rate at 6.875%, amortized over 30 years.

These recent closings represent our aggressive credit line and invoice financing programs that offer fast and accessible capital starting at only 0.4% (just $4 in fees on $1,000 borrowed!) for businesses located in all 50 states including Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, North Mariana Islands and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

South End Capital Corporation (SECC), the innovative, non-conforming commercial real estate and business lender, announced today that as it closes its 200th loan for 2018, it has surpassed a $200 million funding milestone. This places the firm solidly ahead of its competitors in the space.

This recent selection of closings includes a golf course, an Auntie Anne’s franchise, a sports bar, a used auto dealership, an assisted living facility, a no collateral business purchase, financing for a borrower only a year out of bankruptcy and more. South End Capital continues to prove that non-conforming credit attributes which disqualify borrowers from other lenders SBA programs are workable within its Subprime SBA model.

This business had accumulated high-interest rate debt and now needed an affordable consolidation loan and fresh working capital. The borrower desired reasonable terms but had low credit, no commercial real estate collateral and didn’t want to pledge his home. We provided a $170,000 consolidation and working capital loan at 7.75%, amortized over 10 years, with no prepay penalty and didn’t require the borrower to collateralize his home.

SECC was able to provide a $984,000 debt consolidation loan utilizing a 2nd mortgage on the borrower’s primary residence and residential investment property. The final interest rate was 7.75%, amortized over 10 years and with no prepayment penalty.

FedEx ground routes are historically difficult business purchases to finance. Since there is no significant collateral other than the delivery trucks and the income from the route itself, banks and most SBA lenders stay away. We were able to finance this business purchase at a rate of 7.75%, amortized over 10 years and with no prepayment penalty.

Through its innovate “no credit minimum” business line of credit program, South End Capital provided this construction company near immediate access to funds. The program requires no paperwork and has industry leading low rates starting at only 0.4% (just $4 paid on a $1,000 borrowed).

We are pleased present this selection of fourteen (14) recent Subprime SBA loan closings. These closings show that affordable financing, with rates in the 6% to 8% range, is available for borrowers with FICO scores from 550 and for those with unique or no collateral or outside-of-the-box business needs.

Trying to get a competitive, permanent fixed rate loan for a special-purpose property is next to impossible for most borrowers–but not if you come to us! We funded over $400,000 of unrestricted cash-out secured by a nightclub/bar and required no tax returns, financials or 4506T. We provided a 5 year fixed loan, amortized over 30 years at 8.375% and with a customized 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 1% declining prepayment penalty.

This borrower needed a loan for working capital and to purchase new tractor trailers for his trucking company. He wanted a competitive rate, but he had no real estate collateral, just the trucks to be purchased. We provided $150,000 of unrestricted working capital and $1,000,000 for the purchase of new trucks without any real estate collateral required. The loan was amortized over 10 years with a 7.5% rate and no prepayment penalty.

This loan request first came to us in June of 2017 and multiple times thereafter. Each time we offered the client competitive terms and the promise that we fund his loan quickly. After spending a year and thousands of dollars in search of a better rate with other lenders who couldn’t perform, the borrower came back to us and we funded his loan in 10 days. We used the existing appraisal he had paid for with another lender, saving time and money.

Our Subprime SBA Program doesn’t just work great for borrowers with low credit, but also for unique businesses that other lenders won’t touch. We provided $350,000 of unrestricted working capital for an amusement park at an 8.5% rate, 10 year amortization and no prepay penalty.

The borrower sought working capital at affordable terms which was difficult with < 640 credit, back income taxes and no real estate collateral. This loan was a great fit for us since we require no collateral for SBA loans < $500,000, consider low credit and allow back income taxes on an IRS payment plan.

Proceeds also went to pay off delinquent real estate taxes and address over $190,000 in roof repairs (we only required an $18,000 roof repair hold-back to close). Even though the borrowers had 649 and 671 middle FICO scores, we still funded a stated income 3 year fixed loan, amortized over 30 years with a 10% rate.

The borrower sought unrestricted working capital at affordable terms which was difficult for an international shipping co. with no real estate collateral. We require no collateral for our subprime SBA loans < $500,000 so this loan was straightforward for us. The borrower received $200,000 of unrestricted working capital at closing at a 7.5% rate, amortized over 10 years and with no prepayment penalty. The borrower also received a loan commitment within 2 weeks of his initial loan application.

This borrower wanted an easy loan process for his restaurant/bar without the stringent demands of an SBA or bank loan. In 35 days we funded a 75% LTV loan with $330K+ of unrestricted cash-out (no tax returns, financials or 4506T were required) at an 8.75% rate, fixed for 5 years and amortized over 30 years.

This loan was turned down by multiple SBA, bank and non-conforming lenders before we received it. The primary collateral was an athletic club that consisted of a large amount of excess land for multiple sport courts and a pool. The property and business were very special purpose…

To apply for a Business Term Loan starting at 9.99% and receive $5,000 to $500,000 in as little as 24 hours, apply here. Experience an easy, light documentation process with a lender that’s funded $8 Billion to businesses, has an A+ BBB rating and 9.6/10 TrustPilot reviews.

This business owner needed to pay off expensive MCAs and expand. With 650 credit and MCAs on his books, banks and mainstream SBA lenders were not a fit. We paid off his MCAs and provided unrestricted working capital at 8.25%, a 10 year am. and no prepay penalty.

This borrower wanted a low priced permanent loan without the headache of working with a bank, but had < 700 credit and needed to close in a revocable trust. We funded unrestricted cash-out (required no tax returns, financials or 4506T) at 7.25%, fixed for 5 yrs. and amortized over 30 yrs.. The submitting broker earned $9,000.

The borrower was only required to put down 10% on the purchase of this assisted living business and its 3 locations in NC. We also provided $30,250 of working capital at closing to assist with the ownership transition. The final rate was 7.25% and was amortized over 25 years.

Last week, we had the pleasure of speaking with one of our newer partners, Noah Grayson. Noah is the Managing Director and Founder of South End Capital Corporation. Founded in 2009, SECC is a nationwide, non-conforming lender providing a variety of financing options, primarily in the commercial real estate and business loan space. In our conversation, we discussed trends he’s seeing in small business lending, and the massive changes occurring in the finance industry, brought on by the internet and big data. He also shared some helpful tips for small business owners and first-time borrowers looking to work successfully with a broker or lender and avoid the dangers of fraud.

South End Capital Corporation (SECC) announced today that it is once again making waves in the lending business—this time, defying the bridge lending industry’s penchant for collecting large upfront fees or due diligence deposits. SECC Managing Director Noah Grayson explained: “Traditionally, bridge lenders or hard-money real estate lenders demand large due diligence deposits upwards of $30,000. They also mandate the order of their own appraisal reports. But SECC’s core commercial bridge program [from $250K to $5M] does not require upfront due diligence fees.” A third-party appraisal or site inspection fee of a surprisingly low $1,500 to $3,000 is the only fee required after a letter of intent has been issued.

South End Capital Corporation (SECC) announced today that it has increased its maximum loan-to-value (LTV) to 80% for stated-income commercial real estate loans. The new LTV program is offered under SECC’s small-balance commercial real estate loan program from $250,000 to $5,000,000. It is designed for property investors or business owners who can’t document personal or business income but who have personal credit scores over 700 (borrowers with less than 700 credit can still receive stated income financing up to 75% LTV).

South End Capital Corporation (SECC) announced today that its new, “No Credit Check” Business Line of Credit program introduced only two weeks ago, has already approved dozens of credit lines—most in less than 24 hours.

South End Capital Corporation (SECC) announced today it has surpassed $100M in subprime Small Business Administration (SBA) loan closings, demonstrating that SBA loans are not just for A paper small business owner borrowers. According to SECC Managing Director Noah Grayson, “Most small business owners and business loan brokers believe that the SBA loan program is only for borrowers with high credit ratings in mainstream industries, who demonstrate consistent profitability over a long period. Yet this just isn’t the case.”

This 12 unit mixed-use property located in a small city in Florida had been mostly vacant for years. There were 4 retail tenants on the ground floor but the upstairs residential portion was completely uninhabitable. Our borrower, a first time investor who rented her primary residence, saw an opportunity here and needed a lender to take a chance on her.
