It has been a pleasure working with Reliant Capital. Dave is amazing at what he does and has earned my business in the future. Super easy process, and they treat you like family. I would highly recommend them for any of your financing needs.
Brian and his team have helped many of my clients with financing over the years. His efficiency, attention to detail and ability to work with everyone I've introduced him to have helped me close many deals. I have only used Reliant and Brian for the last several years and will continue to do so. His company offers the best rates I've ever seen.
I had a fantastic experience with Dave at Reliant Capital, he made the loan process so easy. He was knowledgeable, efficient, and great to work with. I couldn't have asked for a smoother transaction, I highly recommend reaching out to Dave.
I'm deeply disappointed with my experience with Reliant Capital. As a new business owner, I sought a straightforward financing solution for an $18,000 ultrasound device. Throughout my interactions with Reliant Capital (including via email the day I signed my contract), I was repeatedly told by their representatives that I was entering into a 5-year loan agreement with no prepayment penalties or hidden fees. I relied on these assurances, thinking I was securing a loan. Minutes before signing I was told I se
We have been working with Reliant for years. The professionalism and smooth process has been such a weight lifted off of our shoulders. Our team will always use Reliant and we recommend them to anyone that asks!
This is the 3rd time we do business with them. Jason is a wonderful person to work with. Extremely knowledgeable and responsible. Great job.
I am a real customer of them and will alway use them for all my equipment. Devon was awesome and now he is in my phone as MY MONEY MAN, truly awesome people. TRUST is very important and I have that with them.
Bryce???? Clifford took the time to truly understand our business needs. He gave us a wide range of financing options that helped our business grow. We highly recommend reaching out to Bryce for your financing needs.
Reliant Capital is the backbone of financing to my custober base for medical equipment. Brian never fails to respond in a timely manner. Brian is always thinking out of the box to get financing approved for the most challenging clients.
Raymon was excellent at his job in helping us secure the best financing for our large medical purchase. He explained options and worked with us until we were very satisfied and confident in our ultimate decision.
When I needed a new truck for my flooring business, a colleague recommended Ryan from Reliant Capital?and I'm so glad they did! Ryan was able to secure a loan with rates that beat the dealership?s offer, making the entire process seamless and stress-free. His expertise and commitment to finding the best deal really stood out. Ryan is now my go-to guy for any future financing needs. Highly recommended?thanks, Ryan!
Mike made the equipment financing process seamless and stress-free. His expertise, clear communication, and dedication to finding the best terms ensured a smooth experience from start to finish. Highly recommend working with him for any financing needs!
Would highly recommend working with John and his team at Reliant capital group. It wa a seamless process and very easy to go through the steps. He was always available for any questions and updated me frequently. Would absolutely work with him again.
Chris was GREAT to work with. They made the financing process smooth and easy and were timely with their communications even over the holidays. Renee (Dickson Chiropractic)
2nd deal with Bryce. Can't speak high enough of his team. He was able to get my small business (Seaside Metrology) funding for a 2nd faro scanner and let us continue to grow.
David Lapeer is arguably the best representative I have ever dealt with across any industry. I am a new business owner that had TONS of challenges getting any financing going. It required months and many hours of work for some pretty small financing jobs and he stuck with me through the end. He is kind, reliable, follows up like no other, and a great guy to have in your corner. Hopefully I will have some much bigger opportunities to throw his way in the future as a thank you. I honestly can't imagine anyone
Reliant Capital is by far the best equipment financing company I've ever worked with. They are extremely responsive and proactive when working with my clients. Their financing packages are competitively structured to be client friendly in regards to low interest rates and deferred payments. They are truly the best!
I couldn't be more impressed with Reliant Capital! They made the vehicle financing process incredibly smooth and hassle-free. Their team worked efficiently and quickly got my company approved, which was a huge relief. Throughout the process, they were easy to work with, demonstrating professionalism and a genuine commitment to our needs. I truly appreciate their exceptional service and look forward to partnering with them again in the future. Highly recommend Reliant Capital to any business looking for reli
I've worked with Phil on multiple equipment deals and he exceeds my expectations every single time. He is punctual and more knowledgeable than any equipment 'specialist' I've ever used (and I've used A LOT). Thanks again for all you do Phil and Reliant Capital, you guys are the best!!
I work with Phil from Reliant Capital. This guy is great from communication to getting deals done that look rough with a fairly seamless process. Owning a dealership its difficult to find good lenders that work for you. I am very happy with my dealings with Reliant and Phil. Thanks
excellent company to deal with. fast response, their clients are their priority, and their customer service is amazing. I work for a company that our clients do finance with them. As a supplier they are by far the best finance company to deal with. They are there to help through out the whole process and make sure payment is made with in the net terms. Ryan is always responsive and gives an A+++ service.
We have a had the displeasure of working with Reliant Capital and I feel we were lied to and kept in the dark about the loan they out sourced for us. I will never recommend them to anyone. After my husband left a review we were threatened with a lawsuit from the CEO. He told us to remove our reviews or he would file a law suit. This might explain why they have only 5 star reviews.
I have sent multiple customers to Reliant Capital. It has been a pleasure working with them. Not only are they very responsive and proactive but the entire staff is friendly as well. David Lapeer has handled all of our transactions with speed and professionalism. I would recommend Reliant Capital to any of my customers in need of financing.
We worked with Michael and had a great experience with Reliant Capital. He was easy to work with, kept us informed on process and was there to answer questions at any time. We would highly recommend Michael and the Reliant Team.
Daryn was awesome to work with. He was extremely helpful and supportive before, during and after the transaction even for stuff that's technically not in his scope of work. I would absolutely recommend working with him and will use him for my financing partner on future deals.
Reliant Capital has been a great third-party lender find for our company to refer customers to!! Tyler is awesome to work with, quick to reply, and has multiple financing options for our customers to get our product into their hands quicker. So happy we found this group to refer our customers to. Many of them have successfully been approved and can purchase our tech more confidently thanks to Reliant.
I've never met a man in this banking world with the same ?by any means necessary? mentality as me. John Hammeras gets that shit done, he's got a plan b, plan c, keeps his word and on top of all else he actually repaints and answers the phone when you call or text him. Thanks to him I was able to by a machine my business desperately needed when every other bank told me no, no yet, try again later, or the economy just isn't good right now. John Hammeras gets shit done and for that John will always have a seat
I had a great experience working with Michael. He is knowledgeable, responds quickly, and makes working with him a breeze! I highly recommend Michael and his team at Reliant Capital. I wish 6 stars was an option.
Chandler and Reliant are my number one financing partner. I know that he's going to find the best rates and provide the absolute best customer service - both for me as well as our share client. Always available to hop on a call and answer any questions. Highly recommend.
I was initially hesitant when my husband sought an equipment loan, but Mike Patrick at Reliant eased our concerns. He answered all our questions, explained the tax benefits, and even knew about the equipment itself. Highly recommend Mike if you're looking to buy!
Chris and his team were efficient and effective. I was able to finance my third DRX-9000 with Reliant Capital. The first deal he presented to me had a significant pre-payment penalty, which I didn't like. So he went back to work to find me a more favorable deal. Within a few days, I signed on the dotted line and couldn't be happier!
Our team works with Bryce Clifford all the time. He is super responsive and goes above and beyond to provide our customers with financing solutions. Bryce is also very willing to meet face-to-face, including at industry tradeshows and open houses we host at our facility. Definitely recommend!
Deron made my vehicle purchase go by very fast and smooth. He kept me updated with any new information and gave me his best advice to assure my application was accepted. I would recommend him to others and will be using him for my future business purchases.
Thank you, Brian, for all the time and effort you put into this project for me. Another job well done. You and your team went above and beyond my high expectations.
Recently worked with Reliant Capital finalizing a loan on restaurant equipment. Efficient and seamless process. Highly recommend!
Reliant Capital was both easy to work with as well as competitive - the perfect combination. Phil was very helpful, before, during, and even after my purchase was made. I highly recommend!
Great finance company, I worked with Deron on a deal that went smooth and quickly as possible. Fast and timely approvals, great communication! All dealers in South Florida area should work with Reliant Capital!
I was introduced to Philip Kim through one of our equipment vendors when one of our washers went out. We were in a hurry and needed funding in a timely matter to get our operations back to 100%. From the moment we first spoke on the phone to our last email?he has been very diligent and extremely easy to work with in getting us what we needed. I would recommend Philip to anyone that needs funding for any heavy equipment purchases. The best part about working with Reliiant is the interest rates and the 6mo no
What an amazing experience I've had working with Raymon Fink and Reliant Capital for the first time recently. Top-notch customer support. Extremely friendly and attentive our shared customer's needs and goals resulting in a win-win-win scenario for all involved. Will certainly build upon the great start and cannot recommend Raymon enough!
Having someone who's not only trustworthy and professional when working with clients, but also extremely reliable and responsive, is important to me. Andy has fulfilled each of those qualities, and then some! He makes everything feel easy and I couldn't ask for anyone better to have on our side. Thank you for all the many things you do- you're a wonderful representation for Reliant!
Our company started working with Reliant Capital just last year. This was the best decision we could have made. They're fast, efficent, and really work with the clients. Highly reccommend A+++
Working with Reliant Capital and Sebastian has been great. He's incredibly responsive, delivering great service, turn around times and rates for my clients. A pleasure to work with. Thank you!
Alex with Reliant Capital has been absolutely amazing. They have funded my Dental Practice for a Laser, a CBCT, and computers. It was seamless and convenient without delay. I haven't lost a beat with my Business and it's improved our efficiency and growth. I Would strongly recommend Alex and his TEAM
Bryce was exceptional to work with. He provided all the information and support needed whilst not pressuring me at all. I would highly recommend him for your business financing needs.
I am a former finance professor and investment banker. I would recommend Reliant Capital 10/10. Brian went above and beyond to resolve an issue for me. I could not be more impressed with his customer service. Will absolutely look for opportunities to work with them again.
I have worked with Sebastian Vollaerts on more than enough deals now to know they are the ones to get the orders closed out. Easy communication fast funding makes my life a lot smoother! Sebastian has been so helpful to me and Wood-Mizer team!
I highly recommend this company. I worked with Sebastian, and he was very professional. The transaction was quick and easy, and he explained every detail thoroughly.
Tyler Johnson has been a great addition to our Sales Team and helping our customers get the financing that works best for them. He's very professional and knowledgeable. I highly recommend Reliant Capital for all your financial needs.
They communicated quickly and clearly, and got my loan done seamlessly!
We have worked with Reliant for many years and they continue to be a great partner and asset for our company and our customers. Reliant understands the needs of our customers which enables them to secure financing so our customers can purchase what they need from us. Coast Biomedical trusts and highly recommends Reliant.
Phil Is professional and great Guy, easy to work with and we get the deals done Thanks
Reliant made the whole experience, easy, user friendly, seamless. Thank you Johnny, Dr. Scott
I have worked with Andy Buan for years. And I refer all my customers to him. His response time is impeccable. His customer service and follow up is amazing. And always somehow figures out a way to take care of my customer or find a solution for them. Thank you so much Andy for all that you've done for my business.
I have had the absolute pleasure of working with Deron Lott on 2 deals so far and working on a 3rd and 4th with him currently. Deron is very responsive and communicative and keeps my staff & clients informed every step of the way. I am so grateful for his amazing customer service & making the loan process a breeze. It has been a breath of fresh air working with someone so on top of literally EVERYTHING! Deron, I am very much looking forward to processing these next 2 deals with you and many more in the fu
Reliant Capital has been a fantastic addition to our financing needs. Our industry is fast paced and requires quick turnaround to complete the sale. Ethan, Jason and team are responsive, quick and efficient, knowledgeable and able to offer options at many credit levels to our customers. They have been professional and attentive to our needs as well as our customers. By far one of the best financing companies we have worked with. And when things didn't go so smoothly on one transaction, they went above a
I have been working with Andy Buan for 6-years now. I made a decision years back to use him exclusively. He by far it the best Finance Professional I have ever worked with. He works well with all my customers, is efficient, kind and quick. I highly recommend Andy to anyone seeking a dedicated Finance Professional.
I worked my deal with Phil Kim! Extremely fast response, very straight forward and to the point and over all just easy to work with! No hiccups at all. He knew my needs and just made it happen! Hope to do business again in the next 8 or so months. -Aaron with My Junk Guy
Mike Patrick is very professional and out going to help secure our deals! Just wanted to say thank you for working hard and one more thing! ON TO THE NEXT ONE!!!
My experiences with Reliant have been 100% positive. They're my "go to" finance partner. Chris is always responsive to my customers' needs and is a pleasure to work with.
Have recently started working with Jason and he's been great to work with. He's always responsive and easy to work with. What he and Reliant have been able to come up with for potential customers will be able to change the landscape of smaller companies trying to enter the HP3D space.
Speedy excellent professional service, I was impressed how smoothly and quick everything was, I highly recommend.
Jordan Pilchman is absolutely marvelous to work with. He knows how to think outside of the box and execute well to be beneficial to the company as well as to the customer. I will recommend Jordan to any body who is looking for an immediate working capital.

Andy was extremely helpful during the entire process. He was very responsive and professional. He made the entire process so seamless and explained everything so thoroughly. He always replied promptly, and if he missed my call he would message me immediately to let me know when he would be able to get back to me. Honestly the best communication I've experienced in the loan industry. I will be recommending him to all small business owners!
Thank you to Mike Patrick and the Reliant team for helping with my startup business!! If you're looking for a knowledgeable rep, please reach out to Mike Patrick!!
My name is Dr. Houston Brown and I would like to say that Brian is amazing in what he does. The first time I called he picked up the first time I called and was very attentive to my needs. He took the time to answer all my questions and not rush me through the system. The equipment financing went off without a hitch. He worked well with all my vendors and got the money dispersed just the way he said he would. Brian is very easy to work with and honest. I would suggest you use he and his company for your equ
I worked with Keyvon and had a great experience. Made it super easy for both me and my customer. I would definitely use them again!!!
We worked directly with Brian to get our X Ray equipment financed for our Chiropractic office. The process was so simple. There were not tons of paperwork and everything went very smooth. Brian was easy to get ahold of and always had the answers we needed. I would recommend using this company and Brian for any financing services.
Chris at Reliant Capital has been unbelievably important to the success of our business. His team has a streamlined process that takes soft credit checks and gets our buyers financial quotes back quickly (generally 24 hours). Reliant allows our business to move as fast as we want, I don't have enough good things to say about them! Highly recommend
I've worked with Bryce Clifford to get a number of clients approved for financing and he's been rock solid the whole way through. Always attentive, always available, and super easy to work with. Reliant is my go-to option for financing solutions.
Andy was very helpful in the process of buying a new ultrasound machine for our business! He was quick to respond and make things happen when we needed. We love our new machine! Thanks Andy!
Andrew impressed me greatly with his reliability, professionalism, and follow through on a private transaction he guided my sale through. I deal on a regular basis with many individuals in this industry and feel he is a professional worthy of investing your business with.
I've been working with David Lapeer consistently. He always has the quickest turnaround and most competitive rates for my clients purchasing heavy equipment. Thanks for the great work David!
The team at Reliant Capital have been amazing to work with. They are an extremely professional team when it comes to financing. Response time is something our team heavily relies on, and they have delivered in a timely manner every step of the way. I would highly recommend them to anyone!
Listen! To say I've gone through "Hell and High water" to find equipment funding for my project is an under statement! After contacting Reliant Capital, I wish someone had sent them my way so much sooner! I worked with Karissa. She is so nice, professional and patient. From start to finish A1 service! I definitely will be using them again as my business grows! This may be the start of something epic!
Raymon was an amazing help during the loan process. I would highly recommend them for your financing needs. Thank you!
Reliant Capital came true to help with our equipment's financial needs. David Lapeer was great in following up and guiding the process.
David is amazing, his follow up skills is the best in any business. he emails, text, and leaves me a vm quickly per my instructions with detailed information that wastes zero time. I love it thank you David
Consummate professional. I've never worked with someone so motivated to help, as Raymon went above and beyond to find ways to assist my potential business needs. No matter the outcome, Raymon was always conscientious about time, truly loyal to his clients as well as having a great sense of humor. I find that humor fit's perfectly with business endeavors.
Their customer service is second to none. They always make the time and effort to answer or get back to me. Haven't had any issues at all.
Bryce was amazing to work with! He was extremely responsive and professional.
I appreciate Mike Patrick?s help and the reliant team when starting up my business! Would highly recommend!
Cannot say enough good things! Chris and his team area amazing. I have never had a relationship with a bank or finance company like I do with Chris. He is the best. I have referred other doctors to him, and will continue to do so for as long as I can. His expertise and work ethic are unmatched, and when he says he will get the job done, it will be done before time. There is no one better. If you need or want a loan, or are financing equipment or whatever the need might be, call Chris first. You don
What an amazing company to work with! Superb assistance! We have been working with Ky Madden and he has been a great help to us! He is very responsive and keeps us posted at all times. We had closed a lot of great projects all thanks to Ky! ??
When any of my customers are looking for financing I always point them to Chris at Reliant! He turns over every stone to get the deal done. There have been occasions where the customer was not able to get funded. Chris went the extra mile and was able to connect them with a credit repair service and they were able to clean things up and get financing later. If I could give him 6 on a scale of 5 I would happily do it!
Outstanding service! From alex and ryan they both were attentive and helpful, making my experience exceptional. I am very please with the service . Truthfully great place to start.
Jason is one of a kind. Extremely responsive. My clients absolutely love working with him. If you are going to look at financing options I highly recommend that this is the company to work with!
Look for a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) license, which ensures they’ve passed rigorous exams and meet state requirements. Check for relevant experience in your industry, additional certifications like CFA or CMA, and membership in professional organizations like the AICPA. Verify their credentials through state licensing boards.
Use online directories like the AICPA, CPAverify, or state CPA societies. Search platforms like Yelp or Google for local CPAs with reviews. Ask for referrals from business associates, friends, or financial advisors. Local chambers of commerce can also provide recommendations.
A CPA is a licensed professional who has passed the CPA exam and met state requirements for education and experience. An accountant may lack this certification and could have varying levels of expertise. For complex tasks like tax audits or financial reporting, a CPA is typically more qualified.
Ask about their experience with your specific financial needs, such as tax preparation, small business accounting, or estate planning. Review their website or LinkedIn for case studies or client testimonials. Inquire about their client base to ensure they handle similar financial situations.
Yes, reviews provide insight into a CPA’s reliability, communication, and performance. Check platforms like Google, Yelp, or the Better Business Bureau for client feedback. Look for patterns in reviews, but verify their authenticity, as some may be biased or outdated.
Visit your state’s Board of Accountancy website or use CPAverify.org to check a CPA’s license status. Confirm their license is active and check for any disciplinary actions or complaints. This ensures they’re in good standing and meet professional standards.
Ask about their experience with your financial needs, fee structure, availability, and communication style. Inquire how they handle tax filings, audits, or financial planning. Ask for references or examples of similar work to assess their expertise and fit.
Fees vary based on location, services, and complexity. Basic tax preparation may cost $150-$500, while business accounting or audits can range from $1,000 to $10,000+. Request a detailed fee structure upfront and compare quotes from multiple CPAs.
Yes, many CPAs offer remote services through secure online platforms for document sharing and virtual consultations. Ensure they use encrypted tools for data security. Remote CPAs can be effective if they understand your local tax laws or business regulations.
During consultations, evaluate their ability to explain complex financial concepts clearly. Ask sample questions about taxes or financial strategies and note their responsiveness and clarity. Good communication ensures you understand their advice and fosters a productive relationship.
Beware of CPAs who guarantee specific tax refunds, lack a valid license, or have disciplinary actions on record. Avoid those with poor communication, vague fee structures, or negative reviews highlighting unethical behavior. Always verify their credentials independently.
Large firms offer more resources and specialized teams but may charge higher fees. Solo practitioners often provide personalized service and lower costs but may have limited availability. Choose based on your needs, budget, and preference for personalized attention.
For individuals, annual meetings for tax preparation may suffice. Businesses may need quarterly or monthly check-ins for bookkeeping, tax planning, or financial reporting. Discuss your needs upfront to establish a meeting schedule that aligns with your financial goals.
Yes, many CPAs handle both, but confirm their expertise in both areas. Ask about their experience managing personal taxes and business accounting simultaneously. Ensure they can balance both without compromising attention to your specific financial needs.
Discuss concerns directly with your CPA to resolve issues. If unresolved, check your contract for termination terms. Seek a new CPA by researching reviews, credentials, and referrals. Request your financial records to ensure a smooth transition to a new professional.
