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.
Deals banks won't touch. Complex entities, cross-collateral, and financials that need interpretation — complexity isn't weakness.
A person 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 $250,000 to $5,000,000.

How fast can you fund a loan in Colorado Springs?

Fast: a term sheet in under 5 business days and funding in under 10. 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.
