As a private, direct lender, South End Capital is not beholden to the government to purchase or approve the loans we make. This is why, during the government shutdown, we were still able to provide business owners and property investors affordable capital when many government dependent lenders could not. It’s encouraging that the government has temporarily re-opened, but borrowers should never have to worry that their access to capital will be impacted due to a political stalemate they have no control over.
