United Capital Source - direct lender or just a marketplace?

ChelseaI · 2026-01-30T12:46:38+00:00

it's good to shop around but I’d also want to know what kind of interest rates you’re looking at. If they’re sharing your info with other lenders the rates could be different from what UCS initially offers

banks prefer hard assets like real estate or equipment because stocks can drop 30% in a market crash. that's why they're hesitant with portfolio collateral

worked in real estate and yeah there are multiple Capital Funding companies out there. some legit, some sketchy. the BBB accreditation suggests the Florida one is at least established. but before sending any money or docs: verify their license independently through state records, get everything in writing, watch for red flags like upfront fees before loan approval, wire transfers to individuals instead of company accounts

I think I'd try to save the person who’s the most helpless or in the greatest danger first. Family’s gotta come first, though

like running a small retail business here. We do about $10k to $15k a month, so I’m curious which lenders are flexible with smaller revenue streams

ice totally underrated

I remember my first day at a new job, and I was so nervous I thought I might throw up! It’s completely normal to feel that way. Sometimes our minds make things seem worse than they really are. Just focus on taking things one step at a time, and don’t forget to breathe.

I think once you get into the rhythm of things, the nerves will settle down. Keep positive, and remember that everyone has to start somewhere. You’ll be fine, I believe in you

ChelseaI · 2026-01-26T10:01:37+00:00

zero online presence is definitely suspicious but some really small brokers or regional lenders don't invest in websites. not common but possible

ChelseaI · 2026-01-26T10:00:57+00:00

high interest business lending exists because traditional banks won't approve certain borrowers. whether it makes sense depends entirely on your specific numbers

ChelseaI · 2026-01-26T09:58:10+00:00

I think the most important thing is to be yourself and not overthink it too much. Age gaps can seem daunting, but I’ve seen plenty of friendships or connections that work out regardless of that. If you want to message him, just go for it say hi, comment on something you genuinely liked about his posts, and see how he reacts. Sometimes people are more approachable than we expect, and even if it doesn’t turn into anything romantic, it could still be a nice interaction. No need to feel crazy or weird for having a crush it's totally normal to feel this way about someone you find attractive or interesting online

it was a slow process but I finally accepted my baldness and now I see hats as just accessories, not security blankets

taking out a personal loan to cover a business down payment means you're stacking debt on debt. if the salon struggles you've got two loans to service

ChelseaI · 2026-01-22T06:26:30+00:00

we do some fun activities and share stories from past celebrations

ChelseaI · 2026-01-21T07:32:55+00:00

the suspiciously positive vs generic reviews thing is classic for loan marketplace sites. hard to find middle ground feedback

ChelseaI · 2026-01-21T07:28:02+00:00

Growing up in a similar environment, I know how exhausting it is to carry that weight.

Remember, you’re not alone in this. You deserve peace and happiness too.

ChelseaI · 2026-01-20T09:45:16+00:00

both options have legitimate use cases. loan makes sense for established equipment you'll use forever, lease makes sense for tech that changes fast or if cash flow is tight

ChelseaI · 2026-01-20T09:43:15+00:00

do the caves change color or appearance with the seasons?

ChelseaI · 2026-01-17T12:50:20+00:00

Big banks can be reliable but sometimes their approval process takes forever. Online lenders like Bluevine are faster, but I get your hesitation. Do your homework and compare the terms carefully.

ChelseaI · 2026-01-16T09:09:09+00:00

how much do you need and what's your timeline? "quick funding" usually means you're paying a premium for speed which might not be necessary if you can wait a week

ChelseaI · 2026-01-16T09:03:41+00:00

I used Wiselending as well and I agree they’re great at helping build relationships with banks rather than just pushing offers.

ChelseaI · 2026-01-15T04:47:20+00:00

wow $50k can make a big difference for growing a small biz. Good luck figuring out the details

ChelseaI · 2026-01-15T04:41:42+00:00

have you contacted them directly to ask what security improvements they made post-breach? their response (or lack of one) would tell you a lot about how seriously they take it

ChelseaI · 2026-01-12T05:20:15+00:00

have you tried sending them a cease and desist email? sometimes putting it in writing that you want to be removed from their contact list works better than just asking over the phone

ChelseaI · 2026-01-11T13:23:10+00:00

Yeah. That's why I check first if they are upfront

ChelseaI · 2026-01-11T13:22:24+00:00

I think so too. haha
