Shout out to Jordan Richardson for getting me the loan I needed to grow my business! He did an exemplary job working with me and finding me a great deal. He was transparent and explained everything thoroughly. Will be working with him again in the future!
Jordan Richardson made the loan process seamless and stress-free. He guided me through each step with clarity and patience. He was never pushy and genuinely understood the needs of my small business, ensuring I made the right decision. His exceptional service truly deserves 5 stars. I'm grateful for how quickly he helped us secure funding.
I had an outstanding experience working with Keaton Burke at ViewRidge Funding. From start to finish, he was not only diligent in following up but also truly followed through on every promise. What had been a frustrating and difficult process quickly became seamless with his expertise and dedication. This was my first business loan, and after being denied by another company due to insufficient revenue, I was feeling discouraged. However, Keaton assured me he wouldn't stop until he found a lender who would
Keaton, was absolutely amazing! A lot of stuff has happened over the years and my team needed new equipment and Keaton made it happen! I'm truly thankful for him and his amazing customer service!! Definitely would work with him again!
Keaton was very helpful in finding the right product to meet our business needs, patient in answering all of my many questions, and never pressured me to move forward. There's a lot of competition in this space. I'm glad I chose to work with ViewRidge Funding.
The entire process from start to finish was very quick and smooth. Jordan was able to get our company funded and we couldn't be happier with the service. 100% would recommend.
We were looking for some emergency funding and had all the qualifications including bank statements showing 40k in revenue and a 680 credit score but had an inexperienced agent (Jordan) submit the application for a ?denial?:/ as business owners we shouldn't have to make sure the agents aren't just looking for commissions and doing their jobs correctly and submitting loan applications with the relevant documentation and information. We eventually received the emergency funding and a great rate and Viewridge
My business as a Hunting and Fishing Outfitter is difficult for most to understand. Brian Goodbody jumped right in and when to work for us and was successful in finding us a few loan options. After reviewing them, we asked for something different and Brian went to work on that and came through for us! Brian was committed to helping us and finding the right financial package that fit our needs. Brian was so committed that we talked on Christmas eve and again on the day after Christmas! I'll be using Brian ag
Andrei Feier was great, made the process very easy and I got funded the same day. It was a pleasure, and these funds will help my business substantially!
Keaton Burke was a pleasure to work with. He kept me informed on every aspect of the deal. It's easy to do business with an organization with they make it easy to do business with. Thanks Keaton!!
I had a really great experience working with Keaton. Not only was he very professional and friendly but he answered all the questions I had and made the process so easy. Cannot say enough good things about my experience with him and would definitely recommend him!
Had the pleasure of working with Keaton Burke and let me tell you, his communication and attention to detail are second to none! Loved working with him and the company. Do your self a favor and ask for Keaton!!
I'd give them no stars if I could!! Went through the process they said we were approved for a startup amount, how to send all of our sensitive information and sign documents?And then pulled the offer from us! They were a total waste of time when they could have told us last week that they weren't going to approve us.! Extremely disappointed zero stars!!!!! Don't waste your time.
I had the pleasure of working with Keaton, and he made the process so smooth and uncomplicated. I will definitely work with Keaton and ViewRidge again if needed in the future.
My experience with ViewRidge Funding for my business needs was fast, reliable and secure, thanks to Keaton. Very professional, stress free. Highly Recommended!!!
Keaton was the first to reach out with having five different options view ridge was able to meet my need in a crunch. I will definitely do business with them again a little pricy but no complaints
Jordan handled the process poorly and just ran my info through the same system without any prep or communication to help the client get an approval. I worked hard to build my credit back up to only have Viewridge softpull/inquiry that I now have to fight to have removed.. smh -and don't tell your clients to ?fill out an application and just send in a few months of bank statements? to get the commission for running a 10-03 when you know it's not gonna be approved.. jordan was a good ?salesman? and now he won
A big thank you to Keaton on securing our funding request. He is a pleasure to work with. Very prompt in responding and kept me informed every step of the way. Can't recommend you enough. Thank you!!
Thanks Keyton for his streamlined application process, transparent communication, and fast response times. His knowledge and support help clients navigate the often complex world of business financing with tailored strategies. Overall, Keyton at ViewRidge Funding stands out for his dedication to fostering long-term partnerships and empowering businesses to thrive. Thank you, Keyton, for all your help and support!
Brian Goodbody hands down did a great job and got me approved. When others said no, he made it happen! His communication was 100 .. looking forward to building a relationship
Keaton was a pleasure to work with! He answered all my questions and gave me the best options for the funding I was looking for. I will definitely use him next time I need funding.
Andrei was very helpful in securing this loan. As we don't have much business credit history, we understand the terms being a little high. Our communication with Andrei throughout the process was great which means a lot as you make a major financial decision. This will help our company stay afloat until we finish a few projects. Really appreciated!
Jordan Richardson made the process effortless, thank you for your professionalism we look forward to doing more business in the future! Thanks again!
Big Thank You to Andrei Feier and the Team at View Bridge Funding! We are incredibly grateful to them for their outstanding support in securing funding for our company. ?? From the very start of the process, Andrei has been proactive, professional, and truly dedicated to helping us navigate the funding process. His commitment to ensuring that we found the best possible solution for our business has been nothing short of exceptional. ??If you're looking for a reliable partner in the funding space, we can't r
Wonderful and quick service! I was down in luck of getting funded and they saved my life! Highly Highly recommended! Thank you so much Brian!
We applied for a business loan in order to cover the slower months of our seasonal business after expansion ate through our cushion. We hit many road blocks as our e-commerce uses stripe express instead of stripe (which most lenders use). I applied and got SPAMMED with calls, texts and emails. Keaton Burke with ViewRidge was very gently persuasive. He didn't overwhelm me like many of the others, but also didn't let me forget he was there when we were ready to complete the paperwork. He got us funded in just
I working With Shea, amazing service, to make this happen, they provide more of i ask, definitely work again near future!!
I can't speak highly enough of Jordan Richardson for his exemplary level of service, professionalism, and investment in my company throughout the funding process. As a small business owner, I can contest first-hand how difficult it is to obtain sustainable lending, especially, when you're a young business in your first year. There are an abundance of MCA brokers and programs that make it easy to obtain short-term funding, but there are very few that are as invested in the best interest of your business as y
Brian was very helpful in assisting me throughout the lending process. I would highly recommend ViewRidge and their team.
I was dealing with an individual in regards to funding for my business that went from an ?guaranteed? approval for $20,000. This individual called me multiple times and text me each day, taking time to get this handled, assuring me I was approved. After I accepted the ?approved? offer it was then ?now? sent into underwriting for review , which was confusing to me because why was it offered to me as approved. Then I agreed to accept a lower offer to establish a relationship. My representative, Shea le
Keaton helped out a ton. at first we had a set back because my business hasnt been open for a year. we ended up finding a loan that would work for me.. however because of my personal credit isses the interest was on the higher end. took out a short loan and he said we can rewrite it at the halway point so im hoping for better terms then. ill add to this review when the time comes
I applied for a loan Andrei. He was professional and helpful. The process was truly quick and easy. He got me a custom fit loan tailored to my needs. Definitely be keep Andrei on speed dial for all my loan needs.
Keaton is the best!!! He was extremely helpful, very efficient & knowledgeable. His customer service was amazing, which is so hard to come by these days. Great experience!
I had a really great experience working with Andrei he very professional ,he answered all the questions I had and made the process quick and easy.
Brian Goodbody assisted me from start to finish and within 2 days I had funds in my business account!! Thanks Brian!
Thank you so much Brian, our kit was done very quickly and I was very pleased good luck
Keaton handled my loan with the utmost professionalism, made it easy, and got me exactly what I wanted. Wouldn't go to anyone else, highly recommend.
Keaton did a great job with transparency, communication and hard work. Highly recommend working with Keaton !
All props goes to Jordan ,the Sr account specialist!!! I have a startup company and was in a bind and was shopping around for legit business funding. Jordan called and was very nice and honest about the whole process. He was there every step of the way and after. We got approved and funded within 24-48 hours. I would highly recommend this company for legit business funding and I will use them again in the future for sure!!!
Yeah don't do it. I worked directly with Keith who strung me along for over a week even when I had a co-signer with a 740+ credit score and he didn't even bother to tell me that we weren't approved. I had to email HIM every day for updates. And immediately got approved elsewhere. Stay away from this loan company.
Keaton was awesome and helped me find a business loan that worked out great for my company!! Thanks again!!
I was contacted by 10+ companies but Keaton made this process easy and explained everything to me. Best service here!!
Great help to my business very profesional from start to end funds were there on next day as promise thanks ViewRidge
Highly recommend Viewridge and working with Keaton! Saved us a lot and made the process so seamless.
Definitely do not recommend wasting your time with this company. After a full week of back and forth, tons of calls, emails, texts, giving Andrei everything short of our first born child..they denied us of a loan. That's not even the most frustrating part since we will get money elsewhere. The frustrating part was Andrei kept telling us over and over he could get us a loan after we even tried to walk away. He kept calling, texting, emailing?everything?borderline harassing us?swearing he would get it for us
Highly recommend Viewridge! We worked with Keaton and he made this so easy and saved us a lot!
We had a great experience with Andrei. He was fast to respond, quick to answer any questions or concerns that we had. We received our wired funds immediately after completing their requests. Andrei has offered to be available in the future should we have anymore questions. Highly recommend
Andrei Feier really was exceptional in communicating with me and finding the best option for me. I look forward to our business relationship going forward!
We required funding for an expansion project. I contacted ViewRidge & they immediately contacted me. Brian walked me through every step of the process. Funded within a week. Top Notch. A+
Shea is a great lending resource. He's talented and a person of his word. I completely will be doing business with him again!
Worst company in the world they said we were approved went through all of the stuff jumped all there hoops sighned docs and then said they changed there mind
Andrei was awesome. He was very clear about the terms and what funding we were in the running for. Will look to build a continual relationship with FOX
My experience with ViewRidge was fantastic. Brian Goodbody was thorough. Even through some issues in receiving funding, he was able to help us work through them and get us the funding. He was great at communicating to us and keeping up in the loop the whole time. Great experience!
Keaton was very professional. He looked into several options for us and due to our downsizing of our business, it was a challenge for sure. Ultimately, he found an option that worked for us.
ViewRidge Funding is by far one of the greatest experiences I have worked with (there are about 2 more who are like family) but Jordan Richardson especially took excellent care of me, when times have been a little tough, timing just worked out so perfectly and he gave me faith and believed in me and made the process so smooth and very quick to reply. So a BIG THANK YOU!!
Really excited I got the opportunity to work with Mike Ibrahim on my Loan for my business. He went above and beyond my expectations! We had a issue with getting the funds approved, but thanks to mike and his do diligence he was able to get the decision reversed therefore paving the way for our business to be funded! Great overall experience with Mike!
Shout out to Jennifer A!! For the last week or so, I've been shopping around for some funding options for my company. I diligently searched and questioned a lot of lending specialists. By far, hands down, Jennifer at Viewridge has met my needs! From the initial contact to finalization, Jennifer has been nothing short of excellent. If you're looking for great customer service and professionalism, look no further! I only wished I found Viewridge a lot sooner!
Andrei Feier was the possible the worst business manager we have ever worked with. After over 30 emails and easily double that in phone calls - he was still not able to understand what terms of funding. Do not waste your time, we were seeking a specific funding amount and were offered lower that at an astronomical interest rate and simply wasted our time. We opted to do this instead of the traditional SBA route because we were interested in a faster funding option.
Keaton was great to work with! He is very detailed and dedicated to his job.
I was in search of a tractor loan and was quoted higher terms until I met Keaton Burke. He is professional and on the spot.
The process started to get a bit daunting when the underwriters kept moving the bar but Zac Chaney did a great job of keeping us in the loop and up to date on where we were in the process currently and where we were headed. Amongst all of the companies we spoke with, Zac made us the most comfortable and was honest and open about the process. When we had questions, he had the answers and made it a great experience for us.
LOVED working with Viewridge Funding. Their website had what info I needed to hop on the phone and I spoke with a Loan Specialist a total of 3 times, got a Business Loan within 24 hours in my physical bank account. Thank you Viewridge for all that you do helping Small Businesses that need it! HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND 5+ STARS
As a newer business we were in need of funding. This company had a lending specialist reach out to us and we went through the steps to try to obtain the loan. Unfortunately once they got our application and bank records, they attempted to furnish us with a predatory loan with terms that no human with even a single brain cell would have agreed to. A simple denial would have sufficed, instead they wanted a DAILY payment of $147 to pay a loan back within 4 months at an interest rate of almost 50%. That's a dea
While I couldn't get the loan size I wanted, after getting denied from everyone else I was still able to get a loan that helps and that I can increase after a certain amount is paid back. Kyle was professional and thorough, making sure that when there was an error on my application they got to the bottom of it so I could get approved.
The process was easy, I worked with Zac, he communicated, he was patient with all my 1000 questions. He helped me understand the process. Great Company and on top of that I got funded.
Highly recommended. Kyle Schroeder was very professional and friendly. He was able to get me approved for a great deal and the process was very quick and simple. Great experience all the way!
My experience with Zac Chaney at ViewRidge Funding was nothing short of excellent. Zac followed through and worked hard to get my lending processed and completed. We had a few hurtles and challenges but Zac was always understanding and never stopped working to get this loan done. He went over and beyond to help me out and I'm grateful for ViewRidge Funding. Thank You!
Andrei Feier worked his butt off to find me the funding I needed for my business. I'll be back!
i Had Keaton Burke helping me get funding for our small business and i can honestly say from the time i spoke to him fast stayed in contact with me answered all my questions and concerns basically walked me through it all thanks Keaton
Zach Chaney did an amazing job handling my process, he made sure I got exactly what I wanted with the terms that worked for me. He even called to check in after funding thank you for the wonderful customer service
I want to thank Mr Burke for his timeless work to help me secure my first business loan he was very professional let me know what I was getting into no secret very professional thank you Mr Burke
We contacted ViewRidge Funding expecting to be turned down for a small business loan or have to pay a large interest rate for our funding amount requested. Instead we received a very quick response from Jordan Richardson with an amount, terms and interest rate we could appreciate and afford. Jordan was very communicative and responsive to our requests and had funds transferred to our account within 4 days. Jordan went above and beyond to work for us and with us and we truly recommend ViewRidge Funding and J
I worked with Andrei who actually helped me get a move on things quick. The only reason why it took some time from beginning to end is because of me. I had a lot of questions which Andrei answered thoroughly so that I could go through this with both eyes open. Thanks Andrei!
This was a very stress free process. Working with Zac was amazing , he was very straightforward with me on what to expect no hidden fees. He also keep me in the loop along the way. My favorite thing about the experience was, when we ran into a situation that looked like I would not be accepted. Zac took out the time to send me a scripture reminding me to look at how big God is. That meant the world to me especially since you naturally have reserve dealing with the loan process. I was very impressed wi
Keaton was great to work with. Explained everything thoroughly and quick funding!
Thank you ViewRidge Funding for going over the top to get my business operating capital. Virgil Cooper stayed on top everything and did an excellent job with getting the deal done. He never gave up. He motivated me not to throw in the towel therefore I'm very grateful. Keep up the excellent work! I would recommend ViewRidge Funding to anyone. Sincerely, Ben Darlage Watts Up Electrical LLC
John an Adam are amazing. My company had 0% business credit. They work hard to get a deal worth taken in order to build credit. Even after I turned down several offers. Great job guys.
My experience exceeded anything I could have expected from them. Brad was tremendously diligent and knowledgeable about all available alternatives of financing for us. Even when our business, Gansevoort Management Corp. didn't meet the perfect profile for the typical lender he was able to guide us to a financing solution that helped our company to leap forward. Brad treated us like a partner and acted as such too. The results were fantastic, we bought the equipment we needed and now we have doubled our prod
Andrei was very helpful throughout the funding process. He explained all of the options and was transparent on all costs.
Had a very good experience with Brian Goodbody at ViewRidge Funding, would highly recommend them.
I've been working with Justin and Cole. I can't say enough great things about this company and especially these two guys. If you need to borrow money for your business, call them. You will be very pleased with their service. I highly recommend Cole, Justin, and ViewRidge Funding for your business needs.
I contacted ViewRidge thinking I would never get funded as a small business owner with only 3 months worth of books. However, they were able to provide an equipment loan and a small capital loan to assist with our expansion. Jeff stuck with me every step of the way and even assisted with some vendors that made life difficult for both of us. Thanks to Jeff's dedication the entire process took less than 2 weeks. I can't thank you guys enough!!!
Ask for Zac Chaney with ViewRidge Funding. This person is a complete stranger, a stranger that fights and wins battles for you in the loan department. These types of people are heroes. Pay attention when you speak with him. I believe your going to see for your self that he is a professional. Working with Zac was was very pleasant therefore created a wonderful experience, he was not too pushy or overwhelming, he simply listen to my needs and did his very best to a speedy and successful process. Please sir co
ViewRidge funding was the best. I work with Brad Heise and he is very quick to help us. If you need quick cash and help on financing reach out to this company. They are very attentive and understandable. When you say you have a timeline they will work it out for you as quickly as possible. And its very easy to work with. Thank you Brad. Highly recommended. Jayhan
Jeffrey Guilford was a great associate to work with, very knowledgeable on the equipment we needed and was a pleasure working with him. I will definitely be returning in the future and I will be more than happy to make several referrals as well.
Kyle Schroeder the best salesperson you can work with, he helped us thru all the process and had the best attitud. 100% reccomended, definitely working with him in the future!
Best service for funding that I have found. I am currently using them and will continue to do so. Jamie Nocella took the time last quarter to explain to me some simple steps to have a better chance to qualify. I took a couple of months, did what he suggested, and was approved in one day. Viewridge does not play any games, no back and forth. Process was easy and the customer service was phenomenal, I look forward to a long business relationship with them. Thanks Jamie!!
Brad will be the one to take care of your financial request, its fast, effective and I have to say , will not let you breathe until help you accomplish final goal: Get you the best help for your business. Our first time dealing with this kind of loan process and successful from the start to end. Yes ,you will have to give enough info to be able to get what you need , once you approved and develop a trusted buss relationship , you will be all set to start a real journey to bring your business as far as you
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.
