Small business
Small business loans deliver lump-sum or revolving capital to fund growth, bridge cash gaps, or acquire assets. Options range from SBA-backed term loans to asset-based lines of credit. As a broker, Scarletgate Financial compares programs across multiple lenders, assembles your application package, and guides you from pre-qualification to closing without lending directly.
Hewitt scenario: A family-owned HVAC contractor near the FM 3051 and Panther Way intersection wants to add two service trucks and hire technicians before summer. The owner has tax returns and a list of signed maintenance contracts but isn't sure which loan program fits seasonal revenue swings. Scarletgate Financial reviews his documentation, recommends an equipment financing structure with a working-capital component, and coordinates underwriting so the trucks arrive in April.
Hewitt sits along Interstate 35 between Waco and the southern suburbs, home to retail centers, light manufacturing, and service companies that supply the region. A broker saves you time by shopping multiple lenders at once, then organizing tax returns, bank statements, and business licenses into lender-ready packages. You avoid submitting the same forms to five institutions separately.
Your checklist: 1. Gather two years of business tax returns and year-to-date profit-and-loss statements. 2. List the loan purpose (equipment, inventory, lease deposit, expansion). 3. Call Scarletgate Financial at (254) 514-5209 to discuss which programs match your cash flow. 4. Submit requested documents in the order your broker specifies. 5. Review term sheets together before signing.

Loan programs
We connect Hewitt businesses with SBA 7(a) loans for general working capital, equipment financing for machinery and vehicles, commercial real estate loans for property purchases, business lines of credit for seasonal needs, and invoice factoring for receivables-heavy operations. Each program carries different documentation requirements and repayment structures; we match your cash flow and collateral to the right fit.
Lenders require personal and business tax returns (two years), three months of business bank statements, a current balance sheet and profit-and-loss statement, copies of business licenses and registrations, a lease or deed for your operating location, and a brief narrative of loan use. Scarletgate Financial reviews every page before submission to catch missing signatures or outdated figures that delay underwriting.
Preparation steps: 1. Request transcripts from your accountant or the IRS. 2. Download bank statements in PDF format. 3. Photograph both sides of your driver's license. 4. Write two paragraphs explaining how the funds will be deployed.
