Star Funding vs. The “Industry Standard”

Most lenders hide behind algorithms and middleman brokers. At Star Funding, we provide direct access to capital and decision-makers who understand your business potential.

Feature Star Funding, Inc. Standard Lenders / Brokers
Decision Making Direct Balance Sheet Lender. Decisions made in-house. Brokers or “Syndicates” that outsource capital.
Underwriting Style Human-Led. We focus on potential & PO strength. Algorithm-led. Rigid “box” criteria.
Turnaround Time Same-Day / Next-Day Term Sheets. 7–14 days for initial committee review.
Deal Sweet Spot $500k – $10M+ (Including Startups). Often capped at $1M or require 2+ years history.
Service Model Dedicated Account Manager. Real-time feedback. General call centers or automated ticket systems.
Product Depth PO Finance, AR Factoring, & WIP Solutions. Typically limited to simple Factoring.

No Middleman Fees

Because we lend from our own balance sheet, you don’t pay “Success Fees” to a middleman. You get a single point of approval and direct access to the decision-makers who hold the capital.

Complex Deal Specialists

Traditional banks look for reasons to say “no.” We look for the potential in your Purchase Orders. Our ability to fund Work-in-Process (WIP) and complex trade cycles gives you more leverage at a better cost of capital.
