dont bother

When it comes to their loan partners, Loanbud is anything but transparent. Loanbud will give you a list of what you need, but, everytime you turn around you will get, "We just need 1 more thing" loanbud is not familiar with the requirements of their banking partners. Their bank will make you provide anything everything, except a DNA sample, to prove your business is legit. No matter how many tax returns and bank statements you provide, you will have to send in 1 more thing.
If you do not have a SIMPLE straightforward business set up. Don't bother. Their banks do not understand a consolidated statement. If you send them 2 individual amounts and they call you and say we need a total. They want you to add them together. They will not/incapable of doing any basic math themselves. NOBODY above the 1st level of contact is capable of an independent thought.
If you need money in a short period of time, go somewhere else.
When it comes to after closing on the loan, it gets typical. I had 2 SIMPLE questions. On multiple times I wa referred to someone else who referred me to someone else. I was told to look in the loan agreement. It is 108 pages long. Never could get an answer. I have no idea which bank/lender I have my loan with. No clue what my account number is or where to send the payments to.

In LoanBud I Trust

I worked with LoanBud to secure financing for a business acquisition, and they played a critical role in getting the deal across the finish line.

Bill and Eric were highly knowledgeable, responsive, and delivered on every commitment they made throughout the process. What stood out most was how calm and structured they kept everything, even during more complex stages of the underwriting.

They helped identify the right bank and guided the process in a very pragmatic, solution-oriented way. In a process where trust and execution matter, they delivered on both.

I would not hesitate to work with LoanBud again and would definitely recommend them.

They were responsive

They were responsive, but it seemed like we were always reacting. I was kind of sold on a team that was going to help me anticipate what documents to generate and that was not the case at all.
