Tallcroft Lending, a small-business funding service in Huntsville, Texas, matches each request with funding partners, who review it and make their own decision. This page walks Walker County owners through the steps, from the first call to a written offer, and explains what partners read on tax returns, bank statements and credit reports.
Four steps from the first call to a written offer
- The bill. Call (936) 257-7458 or send the request form: contact details, company name if you have one, and three pick-lists for time in business, annual revenue range and requested amount range.
- The shortlist. On the call, Tallcroft asks what the money must pay for, when it is due and how receipts arrive, then names the options that fit.
- The partner's review. Tallcroft matches the request with funding partners that handle that kind of bill. A partner says which records it wants, reviews them and makes its own decision.
- Your decision. Offers arrive on the partner's own paper. Read the total cost, the schedule and the collateral terms, then accept or decline.
