How does a seasoned Entrepreneur begin to establish commercial credit for expansion

Smoothie Patrol has been a thriving catering company since March of 2009 specializing in the sale of assorted espresso and smoothie drinks for corporate and sporting events. In November of 2019, we began working with Ron Henares, Owner, when he was seeking financing for an additional food truck. Going through the traditional process of reaching out to his bank, he was turned down and was at an impasse.

Ron was looking for a financial partner that could see his vision and was willing to listen and answer his questions honestly with patience and understanding - a company that could foresee the limitless possibilities for expansion. Prior to connecting with Alliance Leasing, he had several bad experiences communicating with multiple lenders and felt they did not have his best interests at heart. He was then referred to Cindy Adler at Alliance by U-Haul (a vendor relationship Alliance had established since 2000).

“Alliance from day one listened to my needs. Cindy and Kathy made the financial terms clear and easy to understand. The financing process was smooth and actually enjoyable.” Ron found the key to success is to get the financing pre-approved and then be “Ready to GO” and locate the equipment. “Go is what Smoothie Patrol is doing! We are succeeding because we have better and newer equipment - more than we ever dreamed possible! We are running the business and the business is not running us!”

With today's technology, what can you do different versus the competition? Working with a seasoned, experienced and trusted finance company is the answer. “Follow your dreams; live your life and call Alliance today!”

Please feel free to call me anytime if you would like a referral for Alliance Leasing!

Hector was at a crossroads...

Hector was at a crossroads...

Hector was at a crossroads when we first started working with him in 2015. He had grown his business with the resources available, but being a hard-working man he wanted more.

With a flourishing tamale business, his ability to handle any additional demand was dwindling. Being a 'two man' team buying used equipment on eBay made keeping up with the growth of his restaurant challenging. He needed to purchase additional equipment.

Getting financing was a daunting prospect. A traditional bank loan required compensating balances and a large down payment. Hector also needed to cover his “soft costs” such as delivery, freight, and installation which would not be covered by a typical business loan.

Alliance was able to get Hector an approval within 24 hours of submitting a 5 minute application. We put the financing under the business name, allowing the company an opportunity to build credit while not impacting Hector's personal bureau.

Hector's business has grown exponentially over the last 3 years putting them at 8 full time employees and 16 employees during the holiday season. Old El Paso Tamales has become a staple to many in Arizona and Hector knows expansion is inevitable. Our relationship with Hector and Old El Paso Tamales continues to develop as his business continues to grow. It is an honor to be a small part of his journey.

As a business owner, we know that many of you can relate to the needs and challenges of a growing business. We want help you get to the next level. Call us at 1-800-449-0674 or submit an application today.

If you are ready to take the next step, we will walk the path with you. Apply today and get the financing you need.

No hard inquiry reflected on your bureau report and No application fee.

 

Alliance found ways around our marginal credit

Native Resources International is a large scale landscape construction company which operates in all the western United States and Mexico. For... 12 years, we have had the fine opportunity to work hand and hand with Cindy Adler and her team from Alliance Leasing. Alliance Leasing has helped our company grow from just a little upstart to a multimillion dollar concern. 

During the early years of our company, our financial situation was often times tenuous at best. Our balance sheet was marginal and we had a few black marks on our credit report. Nevertheless, Cindy Adler and her team always found a way around these negatives to arrange the best deal possible for us.

With Alliance's help, we have leased approximately one million dollars in equipment. We have always found Alliance Leasing to be exceptionally easy to work with and eager to find ways to assist us in our procurement of equipment. Our leasing program allows us to ultimately purchase the equipment at the end of the lease term. This approach has dramatically decreased our equipment rental costs (this past year alone the savings was greater than $200.000).

Although we constantly receive offers from other Leasing entities, we would never consider using anyone else other than Alliance Leasing. I would recommend, without hesitation, that Alliance Leasing be strongly considered by any company interested in a leasing program.

A Small Business Success Story

American Safety Movers was established by Patrick Coleman in 2003 with the objective of providing responsive, efficient and courteous moving services. He developed a team of properly trained, experienced professionals and worked hard to get his business off the ground. 
 
While experiencing a surge of growth in 2015, they were in the market to purchase several box trucks to keep up with the growing demand. That was our first introduction to American Safety. 
 
Not only have we partnered with them for three plus years, we have also built a friendship in the process. During that time, and 22 trucks later, financing has included custom built boxes from one vendor, installation costs from a separate entity in addition to working capital.
 
Today, American Safety Movers has grown to establish 5 locations in 4 states; South Carolina, Alabama, Georgia, and Florida. We don’t anticipate this growth will end there, we look forward to working with him in the future.
