If the asset is sound — real estate or receivables — the deal can get done here, even when the bank’s checklist says no. Because we invest our own capital in every loan, we’re selective about what we fund in Fort Collins — and we’d rather tell you straight if the numbers don’t work than leave you waiting.

Fort Collins’s university & research, technology, and manufacturing economy keeps commercial and investment real estate in demand across the area. When the collateral is Colorado real estate and the deal has a clear exit, asset-based lending secured by that property is how owners and investors move faster than a conventional process allows.

Common questions

Asset-based lending in Fort Collins — common questions

Do you offer asset-based lending in Fort Collins, CO?
Yes. We provide asset-based lending of $100,000–$10,000,000 secured by commercial or residential real estate in Fort Collins and across Colorado, with a term sheet typically within 5 business days and closing typically around 10 days once diligence items are received.
What is asset-based lending?
Asset-based lending is business financing secured by your assets — typically real estate, accounts receivable, inventory, or equipment — rather than by your personal credit score alone. The loan size is driven by the value of the collateral.
Is an asset-backed loan the same as an asset-based loan?
In business lending, yes — “asset-based” and “asset-backed” are used interchangeably to describe a loan secured by collateral such as real estate or receivables. Whichever term you search, the structure is the same: the value of the asset, not your credit score alone, drives the loan.
Do you serve Northern Colorado beyond Fort Collins?
Yes — Fort Collins, Loveland, Greeley, and the wider Northern Colorado market. Real estate anywhere in Colorado can secure the loan.
