GeographyTX · CO · UT · NVMarkets we know firsthand

Our rates reflect short-term bridge capital. Most of our borrowers refinance into long-term debt within 18 months — often back at their bank. We plan that exit with you from day one.

Many Meridian borrowers start by searching "hard money lender." We're a private bridge lender — comparable terms, more partnership-oriented underwriting, and a close in under 10 days.

Why BuildUp

What sets us apart in Ada County

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 Idaho. We lend only in markets we know firsthand, and Idaho is one of them.

Common questions

Lending in Meridian

Do you lend in Meridian, Idaho?

Yes — Meridian is squarely in our footprint. We make real-estate-secured loans of $250K–$5M throughout Idaho, including Ada County.

How fast can you fund a loan in Meridian?

Term sheet in under 5 business days and closing in under 10 days from submission — fast enough for most Meridian deadlines. A member of our team responds within 24 hours.

Do you have a physical office in Meridian?

No — we don't operate a branch in Meridian. We lend across Idaho and a real person responds within 24 hours, so you get bank-grade underwriting without the bank's timeline.

Can I use Meridian commercial or residential property as collateral?

Yes. We lend in first or second lien position against commercial or residential real estate in and around Meridian, and we structure cross-collateralized loans across multiple properties.

What if my Meridian business was declined by a bank or SBA?

A decline usually reflects complexity or timing, not the quality of your business. We regularly fund Meridian deals that banks and SBA lenders pass on, provided they're secured by real estate in Idaho.

Are you a hard money lender in Meridian?

We're a private bridge lender, not a hard money shop. The terms are comparable in Meridian, but our underwriting is built around your success, not your keys.

Is Meridian's rapid growth a fit for bridge or fix-and-flip capital?

Very much so. In a fast-growing market like Meridian, a term sheet in under 5 days and a close in under 10 keeps deals moving.
