Our rates reflect short-term bridge capital. These loans are structured to be refinanced into long-term debt — often back at your bank — within the loan term. We plan that exit with you from day one. Rates depend on term, collateral, lien position, and borrower profile, and are subject to change. Not every borrower qualifies for the lowest rate.

Many Colorado Springs borrowers start by searching "hard money lender." We’re a private bridge lender — comparable terms, more partnership-oriented underwriting, and a close typically around 10 days once diligence items are received.

Why BuildUp

Why work with BuildUp in Colorado Springs

  • Operators, not bankers. We’ve built, bought, and run businesses, so we read your deal as a business plan — not just a collateral file.
  • Skin in the game. We invest at least 10% of our own capital in every loan we make.
  • Not a loan-to-own shop. We structure every loan around your exit and only fund deals we believe will succeed.
  • Complex situations, underwritten. Complex entities, cross-collateral, and financials that need interpretation — a standard credit box can’t hold them; we can.
  • A person, typically within 24 hours. No call center, no automated maybe — a real answer, fast.
  • We know Colorado. We lend only in markets we know firsthand, and Colorado is one of them.

Common questions

Colorado Springs financing questions

Do you lend in Colorado Springs, Colorado?
Yes. BuildUp Capital lends across Colorado, including Colorado Springs and the rest of El Paso County, against commercial or residential real estate — business-purpose loans from $100,000 to $10,000,000.
How fast can you fund a loan in Colorado Springs?
Fast: a term sheet typically within 5 business days and funding typically in around 10 days once diligence items are received. Speed in Colorado Springs comes from preparation, not skipped steps.
Do you have a physical office in Colorado Springs?
We’re online and statewide, not a storefront in Colorado Springs. That’s how we move faster than a local bank while still underwriting every deal by hand.
Can I use Colorado Springs commercial or residential property as collateral?
Commercial or residential — both work. Colorado Springs-area real estate can secure the loan, including cross-collateralized structures across several properties.
What if my Colorado Springs business was declined by a bank or SBA?
Often, yes. A bank "no" in Colorado Springs is usually about a checklist, not your business — and complex, time-critical deals are exactly what we underwrite.
Are you a hard money lender in Colorado Springs?
No — we’re a private bridge lender. Hard money lenders underwrite collateral alone; we weigh the business and the exit too, and we invest our own capital in every loan.
Do you lend on properties throughout El Paso County?
Yes — Colorado Springs and the surrounding El Paso County. Commercial or residential real estate in Colorado can secure the loan.
