The absolute best!
This is my second time using 1west and needless to say, they rock; Stephen H, specifically. The application process was easy, the funding was quick and I felt that I made the right decision at the end of the day. I really appreciate the communication throughout my first business loan experience. They always checked in with me, gave me options and made themselves available for my questions along the way. If you are looking for excellent customer service, loans that fit your unique needs and quick funding, I’d highly recommend 1west. (Ask for Stephen H and tell him I sent you)

was told one amount then it was approved,and then because they made a mistake it wasn't approved.they should take responsibility when the make a mistake and honor the approval they gave.....Gabriela Valarezo....they have since responded and I will now attach pics of email comments from Gabriela showing she knew my start date and had “other options” because I was too new
They won’t let you attach pics imagine that
Will try to find another way to attach

Upon reviewing your file the application you submitted listed your business start date as 01/24/2023. However, during final review the funder identified the actual start date as 11/24/2025. Once the correct start date was identified the funder determined your business did not meet their time-in-business requirements, which is why they were unable to proceed.
We understand how disappointing this outcome is and would still like the opportunity to connect with you directly to review your situation and see if there may be other options available. Our team will be reaching out to you to discuss further.

My experience with Craig ~
I worked with Craig who was very helpful answering all my questions and giving me a clear understanding of what to expect. I was looking for a Business loan and he was very honest about what the lenders would be looking for and what they might be asking for in terms of payments. Craig was very patient with me. I would recommend Craig to anyone looking for a loan but isn’t sure about how to get one.
