What we will never do
- Promise you an approval. Only lenders approve.
- Ask for your SSN or bank statements before you decide to work with us, or over email or text.
- Send you to apply everywhere and hope something sticks.
- Help you misrepresent your business to a lender.
Jordan Smith, founder
I started Foundation First because too many owners walk into a bank unprepared, get denied, and never find out why. I've trained under working funding brokers on lender sequencing, fundable profiles and SBA products. On every call, you get me, and you get the real answer.
Before you book
Are you a lender?
No. We're advisors. We prepare you and connect you with lenders, and the lender makes the decision.
Will this hurt my credit?
The call doesn't touch your credit. Lenders may check your credit when you apply, and we'll tell you before any application goes in.
How fast can I get funded?
It depends on the product. Many alternative lenders and lines of credit decide within one or two business days. SBA loans take weeks. We'll give you a realistic timeline on the call.
What if I'm not ready?
Then we tell you, and we show you what to fix: credit, banking, or how your business is set up. Some owners need a few months of prep, and that's better than a denial.
