How it works

Four steps, from your first call to a lending partner's answer.

  1. Tell us the purpose

    Call, or leave your contact details on the short form and we call you. We ask what the money is for and what income would repay it.

  2. Narrow the options

    We pair the purpose with a funding type and with lending partners that offer it.

  3. A partner reviews

    The lending partner underwrites, decides and sets any rate and terms.

  4. You decide

    Compare any offer by total cost and payment rhythm. No offer has to be accepted.

Straight answers

First Questions From St. Louis County, MN Owners

Short answers to what owners ask most often.

Is Lakeshire Business Funding a lender?

No. Lakeshire Business Funding is a broker, not a lender. We prepare and route the request; lending partners make the credit decision and set rates and terms. The disclosures page explains the relationship.

Can Lakeshire help me get an SBA loan in Minnesota?

No. SBA loans are not something we make or arrange. Owners who want an SBA-backed loan usually ask a bank or credit union that takes part in SBA programs; a free small business advisor can help with the preparation.

Which small business funding options can you help me compare?

Six: working capital, term loans, lines of credit, inventory financing, equipment financing and merchant cash advances. A merchant cash advance is not a loan, and we explain the difference before you weigh one.

Can businesses outside Duluth, MN work with Lakeshire?

Yes. Everything works by phone and online. Owners in Hermantown, Proctor, Cloquet and elsewhere in St. Louis and Carlton counties contact us the same way. The areas page lists the communities.

Should I expect a lending partner to review my credit?

Most partners review business credit and, usually, the personal credit of each owner. Ask the partner what kind of inquiry it will make before you give permission.
