What CaliforniaFunding.com Does
CaliforniaFunding.com (California Funding) operates as a business funding marketplace and broker connecting California operators with multiple lenders. They aggregate applications and shop them across their network. Their model focuses on matching operators to whichever lender in their network offers the best terms for that profile.
Marketplace strengths: more lender options, potentially better terms-shopping. Trade-offs: broker commission built into your cost, slower decision (multiple lenders reviewing), application data shared across multiple parties.
What California Biz Funder Does
California Biz Funder is a direct private lender (not a broker). We fund from our own capital, quote you our own terms directly, and own the relationship from application through repayment. No broker commission, no application data shared, single decision-maker.
Direct lender strengths: faster decisions (4-24 hours), no broker layer, single relationship, quoted terms are final. Trade-offs: only our products available (we don't shop you across SBA banks or specialty equipment lenders).
