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 Provo? 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

Why work with BuildUp in Provo

  • Not a loan-to-own shop. We structure every loan around your exit and only fund deals we believe will succeed.
  • 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.
  • 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 Utah. We lend only in markets we know firsthand, and Utah is one of them.
  • Operators, not bankers. We’ve built, bought, and run businesses, so we read your deal as a business plan — not just a collateral file.

Common questions

Lending in Provo

Do you lend in Provo, Utah?
Yes — Provo is squarely in our footprint. We make real-estate-secured loans of $100K–$10M throughout Utah, including Utah County.
How fast can you fund a loan in Provo?
Term sheets typically within 5 business days and closing typically around 10 days once diligence items are received — fast enough for most Provo deadlines. A member of our team typically responds within 24 hours.
Do you have a physical office in Provo?
No — we don’t operate a branch in Provo. We lend across Utah and a real person typically responds within 24 hours, so you get bank-grade underwriting without the bank’s timeline.
Can I use Provo commercial or residential property as collateral?
Yes. We lend in first or second lien position against commercial or residential real estate in and around Provo, and we structure cross-collateralized loans across multiple properties.
What if my Provo business was declined by a bank or SBA?
A decline usually reflects complexity or timing, not the quality of your business. We regularly fund Provo deals that banks and SBA lenders pass on, provided they’re secured by real estate in Utah.
Are you a hard money lender in Provo?
We’re a private bridge lender, not a hard money shop. The terms are comparable in Provo, but our underwriting is built around your success, not your keys.
Do you serve Utah County beyond Provo?
Yes — Provo, Orem, Lehi, and the wider Utah County market. Real estate anywhere in Utah can secure the loan.
