Beware of the Interest Rate

The people are all great. The customer service is excellent. If you know your credit score is not the greatest, be prepared to pay an interest rate that is double most credit cards. I have a credit score around 675 and I was quoted at 27% interest rate... My credit card is only 12.99%.....

Smooth, Quick, Easy

I had heard about StreetShares, and read about them. I spoke to their team on the phone, then had the opportunity to visit their shop in person. I then applied, and was approved and funded. I thought they were professional, easy to work with, reasonable, honest. The process was smooth, quick, and easy. Would heartily recommend to any friends in a similar startup position needing cash for operations.

Easy and awesome!

StreetShares came in to my life right at a time when I had an amazing opportunity to grow my business, but I lacked the necessary capital. My credit was demolished when our real estate business tanked in 2006, but that did not scare away StreetShares investors. They were able to analyze my business plan, financials and determine I was a safe risk.

Great to work with!

The whole process was easy to get through and well organized from the beginning. Both of the individuals we worked with, and there were only two as I recall, were very helpful and knowledgeable............... but then they are Marines and I would expect no less!
I am personally recommending Street Shares to a number of veteran owned companies that I know who are looking for working capital to help grow their businesses.

No Hassle Funding

I can honestly say working with StreetShares has been a blessing. They responded immediately when I inquired and I received funds within a couple of days. They advised me of all my options without upselling me. I highly recommend them for access to quick capital to grow your business.

Simple does not describe this process! OUTSTANDING!!!

My company has been in business for about 4 years and all of which have been profitable. Last year we did over 1.4 Million in sales but throughout our growth, we never sourced funding or even more than one single company credit card. Little did we know that when we hit an unusual slow patch that sourcing funding would be so difficult. I have tried to source a line of credit and/or a business term loan from 4 separate banks, both small credit unions and large national banks with no luck. I have over $500,000 worth of sellable inventory and very close to no debts. It did not make sense to me in any way I looked at the situation. To say the denial's were not just words but a giant kick in my company's stomach would be an understatement. I just about threw in the towel with sourcing any kind of funding, but then I stumbled across StreetShares while looking into registering my business as a Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business and figured, I did not have much to lose at this point.
After creating an account and basically pulling images off of my company's facebook and eComm site, I had my profile ready and just had to upload a couple documents. I had the fortune of already having all of the documents prepared from the previously denying banks and simply uploaded all of that information. When that was complete, I seen that I had a chance to upload documents to give the Investing parties a better idea of who was running the company and what exactly we stood for. I thought the personable approach to this process was something I remember wishing banks would do, as it allowed me to not just show our financials but what we exist for and what our driving force is for my company.
After uploading some videos, customer reviews, charities we stood behind, some event photos and screenshots of various events on our facebook, I was done. I believe it was the following day when I received a phone call to simply touch base about the application and to explain the process over the phone. Honestly, it wasn't but a day or so later I was told the loan offer was going to go live and to my surprise, not 24 hours later I was told the entire amount was funded! The funds hit my bank in literally less than 48hrs! Unreal!
It is very refreshing to know that there are Veteran Owned Companies that exist today, that are really in the business of helping other Veterans. I will be recommending StreetShares to anyone I hear talking about sourcing funding. You guys took Shark Tank & Ebay, put it in a blender and poured out Awesome! Keep up the great work!!!!

Easy to work with

They made the process simple, and gave me better options than other similar quick repayment loan companies. I'd definitely recommend them to others.
