For a finance company For a finance company, StreetShares showed a real lack of customer service and communication. I don't mind if we're not the right fit for there funding program but to say it with out really understanding our business model and making a decision with out all the right information, is just poor and lazy work on their part. wont recommend or use them again.

SHOULD BE POLITICIANS Our company had used This company before and it was because they were supposed to be for helping vets. We took a line of credit and paid it off in full, All on time!!. This was for a 12 month deal. We was told after 6 months that we could do another line after this one was paid in full. So after paying this off in full and ahead of time we was told by some new guy that they could not do anything. Found out that this company has a HUGE turnover of staff, So I would say to use someone else. They are just using the vets as a way to get new customers And NOT doing what they say they will do.

Good service, but... In general I had a good experience with Streetshares. Their rates were better than most other lenders, though the origination fee they charge decreases that benefit. The application process was easy and I have found since signing up that making extra early payments is easy enough as well. My only negative was the representative that contacted me to set up my account ended up being overly pushy to sell the service. When I stated that I needed some time to compare and check out their history he still pushed to close the deal. I ended up having to hang up on him. I did the research I needed and StreetShares did end up being the best option, but the hard sell sales technique left me with a bad taste. I would have knocked them down to 3 stars, but in this culture where anything but 5-star is bad I couldn't ding them that much for one incident when all their other service has been good. I'm not sure if that selling tactic is company policy, but hopefully they recognize that business owners need their space to make decisions.

Returns down since removing selective investing... My returns have dropped significantly since you removed selective investing. If I am understanding my investing options correctly I have to invest in a broad selection of loans not just individual ones. You have too many questionable loans that will default - if someone isn't willing to provide their public name and info they are less likely to keep their word to pay off their loan.

Expensive but accessible Costs for loan are high, but the process wasn't too hard and the turnaround was faster than a bank loan. There were some stumbles along the way, so it wasn't as fast as advertised, but they did get things sorted out and get me the funds in a reasonable timeframe. If your business is too small and too new to qualify for a bank loan, or has revenues too low for the bigger "small" business loan companies, try them out - they may surprise you.
