I am extremely satisfied with the StrongTerm team, Brian especially.

I am extremely satisfied with the StrongTerm team, Brian especially. They clearly outlined the options I had available to me from the beginning, and we executed on the path forward that made the most sense for me. There was consistent communication throughout the entire process and I always knew what barriers we faced and why we were facing them. This team goes above and beyond to make things happen, whether that is helping with documentation, advising on ways to improve credit, or simply calming the nerves. Would recommend.

I had a great experience working with…

I had a great experience working with Brian Watson and the team at StrongTerm on a recent business loan. The process was clear, well-organized, and handled with a high level of professionalism from start to finish.

Brian did an excellent job setting expectations, staying responsive, and helping navigate the details efficiently, which made what could have been a stressful process feel very manageable. I appreciated the straightforward communication and follow-through throughout.

I’d be happy to work with StrongTerm again and would recommend them to other business owners looking for a knowledgeable and reliable lending partner.

I recently worked with StrongTerm for…

I recently worked with StrongTerm for business financing, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From the start, they were incredibly supportive and professional, guiding me through the process every step of the way. They secured the financing quickly, with funds arriving the very next day after approval—what a relief during a busy time for my business. Now, they're already helping with an SBA loan to refinance and optimize things further. Their team is responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in long-term partnerships. If you're a small business owner looking for reliable financial consultants, I highly recommend StrongTerm—they've made a real difference for us! 5 stars!

Brian with StrongTerm was very upfront

Brian with StrongTerm was very upfront, transparent, and accurate with what he said he could do and by when. As I worked with other professionals (underwriters, etc) downstream, I discovered the quality of Brian's relationships was based on similar performance standards. Overall GREAT to work with.

We worked with Brian

We worked with Brian who helped us close on an SBA loan for our business. I've previously worked with the SBA for business loans and it can be exhausting. Brian was very knowledgeable and responsive, and was able to streamline the process to make it much easier for us. Highly recommend Brian and StrongTerm.

Don't look any further!

We truly can’t say enough good things about our experience working with Brian and StrongTerm. From the very beginning, Brian was incredibly professional, honest, and easy to work with. He made the entire loan process feel approachable and stress-free. He took the time to walk us through each step, answered all our questions, and made sure we felt confident and informed the whole way through. What really stood out was how Brian checked in with us daily, kept us updated throughout the process, and made sure we never felt out of the loop. He was always available to answer questions and kept things moving smoothly from start to finish. We highly recommend StrongTerm.

Outstanding Service

If you are reading this review, you are probably wondering if StrongTerm is a good place to apply for a business loan. After getting NOs from multiple lenders, I waited to close out 2024 and apply for an SBA loan, again. I had comms with 3 banks and started applying, but before any of them really became committed to the process I discovered StrongTerm. These guys are different than a bank. They are on your side, and will coach you along the way. They will evaluate your business, and goals for your loan, and like any entrepreneur, they won't quit until the job is done. Comms with Brian were ideal, and after a week or so, we received a NO, but he was ready that same morning to take a shot at another lender, and everything worked out as quickly as you could ask. When I need a business loan in the future, StrongTerm will be my first call.

My goodness. Brian and StrongTerm truly earned these 5 stars and more. I had several obscure issues come up while trying to obtain an SBA loan and Brian patiently and tirelessly guided me through each of them, all the way to the finish line. Everyone I spoke with at the company was bright, attentive, positive and genuine. I'll definitely be working with them for all my loans in the future.
