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.

Searching for a hard money lender in The Colony? Experienced operators usually choose a private bridge lender instead — comparable speed and flexibility, but underwriting that weighs the business and the exit, not just the collateral.

Why BuildUp

What sets us apart in Denton County

  • Transparent pricing. From 10%, priced to the risk, with our fees stated in your term sheet. Rates depend on term, collateral, lien position, and borrower profile, and are subject to change. Not every borrower qualifies for the lowest rate.
  • Real collateral, always. Every loan is secured by Denton County-area real estate we’d be comfortable owning.
  • Speed that wins deals. Term sheets typically within 5 business days, with closing typically around 10 days once diligence items are received — fast enough for most The Colony deadlines.
  • We know Texas. We lend only in markets we know firsthand, and Texas is one of them.
  • A person, typically within 24 hours. No call center, no automated maybe — a real answer, fast.
  • Complex situations, underwritten. Complex entities, cross-collateral, and financials that need interpretation — a standard credit box can’t hold them; we can.

Common questions

The Colony financing questions

Do you lend in The Colony, Texas?
Yes. BuildUp Capital lends across Texas, including The Colony and the rest of Denton 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 The Colony?
Fast: a term sheet typically within 5 business days and funding typically in around 10 days once diligence items are received. Speed in The Colony comes from preparation, not skipped steps.
Do you have a physical office in The Colony?
We’re online and statewide, not a storefront in The Colony. That’s how we move faster than a local bank while still underwriting every deal by hand.
Can I use The Colony commercial or residential property as collateral?
Commercial or residential — both work. The Colony-area real estate can secure the loan, including cross-collateralized structures across several properties.
What if my The Colony business was declined by a bank or SBA?
Often, yes. A bank "no" in The Colony 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 The Colony?
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.
